           Summary: RC IRC feed coming from "I.still.hate.packets"
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: IRC
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Whoever reconfigured the IRC feed last time it was reconfigured changed
something, which they doubtless thought was purely internal, such that the user
the feeds come from is no longer "r...@localhost" but 
"[email protected]".
Some tools were checking for precisely "rc!...@localhost" (I didn't want to
accept messages from just anyone as private messages are enabled on
irc.wikimedia.org and that would let people screw with others' clients), and so
it broke when this was changed, as probably did other things.

While this was a bit stupid of me, and I will change my code to be a bit more
flexible in what it accepts, the "I.still.hate.packets" thing should probably
be changed, particularly since IRC has line length limits and we already have
problems with messages getting cut off at the end; we don't need 10 superfluous
characters in there.
