Why do you think it is a bug? Mixed case is allowed and may be significant in the local part of email addresses. If you subscribe an address with a mixed case local part to a Mailman list, Mailman stores two addresses - a lower-cased address which is used as the key to identify the member throught Mailman, and a case-preserved address which is used as the delivery address. It would be wrong for Mailman to deliver to the lower-cased address. >I've seen Postfix deliver email with mixed case >in the user name no problem. And it should, but it seems that it may not be in this case, BUT are you sure Postfix dropped these addresses. Maybe you just didn't see them in the logs because you were looking for the lower-cased address and what was logged was the mixed-case address. If you go back to your original bin/list_members and add a '-p' option to it, you will get the list of case-preserved addresses that Mailman actually delivered to and you might find them all in Postfix. >Mailman does store >the original version inside the config.pck file, >as well as the mapped to lower case version. Yes, as I note above. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
