There was a posting to a number of lists here yesterday
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
all of the lists are linked; some of the lists are subscribed to others.
I took that address and added it to
acceptable_aliases
And Mark Sapiro replied:
What did you add to acceptable_aliases? And for which list(s)?
A post addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will presumably be
delivered to the comp_info list. In order for it not to be held by that
list, you need either
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
As you discovered, the above is wrong. All entries in acceptable_aliases
are interpreted as regexps, thus any regexp special characters must be
escaped as you indicate below.
I have not looked at the code, and I am not an expert in regular
expressions. I surmise that Mailman is treating the address as a
regular expression, which matches
ab at anl.gov
aab at anl.gov
aaab at anl.gov
aaaab at anl.gov
...
but does not match
a+b at anl.gov
I then changed the acceptable_aliases to
a\+b at anl.gov
and test mail was distributed.
