it seems that the forward slash is having mailman listserv reject this email address and any others loke it. Is there a way around it?
Well, the address is legal per the RFCs. Some MTAs protect themselves against the damage such addressing can do (eg, when computing a local part's mail directory path, and the address is crafted to do harm) by disallowing it in their default configurations.
Yep, if you are on pretty much any linux/unix/macosx system, then using a slash in a list name is asking for trouble. My *guess* is that the Mailman code would prohibit it. After all, Mailman uses the list name as a file or directory name in several places.
