Hi. One of the list-admins at my site was testing the bulk-subscription
box under Mailman 2.1, and tried to subscribe an address that looked
like (as he described it to me)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Foo Bar)
but there must have been a tab in there because (according to
mm_list_members) the address that actually got subscribed was
[EMAIL PROTECTED] foo
(all lowercase, no parentheses, but with a tab in the middle). Now
he can't unsubscribe that address via the web interface, and I can't
unsubscribe it with remove_members. Here's what I get (with the actual
bits of the address changed for privacy's sake) when I try:
% /priv/daemons/packages/mailman-2.1/mailman/bin/remove_members -f - com3351
[EMAIL PROTECTED] foo [typed with a tab; I've also tried
sticking the address in a file and
providing that]
[Control-D]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/priv/daemons/packages/mailman-2.1/mailman/bin/remove_members", line 179, in ?
main()
File "/priv/daemons/packages/mailman-2.1/mailman/bin/remove_members", line 169, in

userack)
File "/priv/daemons/packages/mailman-2.1/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 922, in
ApprovedDeleteMember
self.removeMember(emailaddr)
File "/priv/daemons/packages/mailman-2.1/mailman/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships.py",
line 217, in removeMember
self.__assertIsMember(member)
File "/priv/daemons/packages/mailman-2.1/mailman/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships.py",
line 113, in __assertIsMember
raise Errors.NotAMemberError, member
Mailman.Errors.NotAMemberError: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So evidently the tab is getting stripped out before remove_members
tries to unsubscribe, but not getting stripped out before the CGI
script adds the address (and it seems to have messed up parsing of
the comment in parentheses).
So to make a long story short:
(1) I guess this is a bug report, and
(2) Can anybody tell me how I can remove this address by hand? (I
can mostly make sense of Python when I read it, but I don't know enough
Python to pull the bad value out of the .pck file.)
Thanks!
Jay
