Yes. Apparently, up to now, no one thought of this problem. I think at least leading and trailing spaces should be removed. Actually, I think only a trailing space would be a problem. A leading or imbedded space would result in invalid email addresses and would probably not go unnoticed. >Similarly, case shouldn't matter in hostnames, >as "proscientia.tuwien.ac.at" and "ProScientia.TUWien.Ac.At" are the same by >definition. So all hostname checks should be made case-insensitive. >Or would this be too hard to be implemented in mailman? No. It's not too hard :-) Since people often prefer one spelling over the other, I would not want to convert saved host domain names to lower case, but we could certainly do a case insensitive compare. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
