I'm not sure, but judging by sr #106481 and the similar case with
Vivek, it seems to me that mailing lists with such names should not be
created at all, warning the user appropriately.
I tried to "implement" this and I'm ashamed to post the "patch"; this
is the first PHP file I edit in my life :(
Please don't laugh too loud...
