OK. Where do these two email addresses sit? f...@bar.example.com foo....@example.com They're distinct addresses, but they clash in this naming scheme because of the collapse of (@,.) to (.). If '@' can't be mapped to itself, or another unused character, then it needs to be mapped to a rarely used string, or it needs to be mapped to a configurable string. I suppose the default could be '.' if the string were configurable. -- Ian Eiloart Postmaster, University of Sussex +44 (0) 1273 87-3148 _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
