The text of the post and the example therein had nothing to do with spaces, only with length. Thus I thought that perhaps the OP was not too familiar with English and really meant characters or number of characters rather than spaces. You're probably correct. However, it was my focus on the subject line which I think lead us down the RFC 822/2822 rathole.

Actually, according to RFC822 (section 3.4.1), spaces are allowed in email addresses: Note: In particular, quoting is NOT permitted within atoms. For example when the local-part of an addr-spec must contain a special character, a quoted string must be used. Therefore, a specification such as: Full\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not legal and must be specified as: Full Name@Domain Moreover, I've encounted several bone-headed sys admins that are assigning email addresses that are of this format. Of course, when I complained to them that they are idiots for choosing such email addresses, they pointed me to RFC822. I still think they are idiots...

Re: [Mailman-Users] Spaces in Email Addresses
I had a similar problem just last week where I had an address with 2 @'s in it. Actually it was to addresses concatenated but whenever Mailman displayed the addy it was truncated at the second @. My final solution was to dump the config: # bin/config_list -o outfile listname then dump the userlist: # bin/list_members listname outfile2 Here you should munge up outfile2 so it's the proper format for re-insertion later. destroy the list (leaving archives in tact): # bin/rmlist listname recreate the list (the user and password here mean little because of the next step): # bin/newlist listname [EMAIL PROTECTED] write your old config over it: # bin/config_list -i outfile listname resubscribe your members silently: # bin/add_members -r outfile2 -w n -a n Of course you'll have to deal with your digest vs. regular subscribers on your own. Most of my lists are either announce-only or low-traffic so all my members are regular. Hope this helps!

Thanks. Read the FAQ... Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py I think the easiest way to do this is to use a hex editor and simply insert a valid character where the spaces are. Then you can treat them as ordinary email addresses. Note: the address may appear in the database in multiple places.
