Aside #1: Feature Request
Can there be a link to the FAQ or other documentation on the Mailman
administration page used by listowners at their ISP?
Aside #2: Is there a place to see what updates have been made in various MM
versions? I can't find it at the wiki.

Question:
I'm trying to edit discard_these_nonmembers. Sometimes when I've done it
in the past I made a syntax error and got an error msg. But now I'm
getting the error msg no matter what I do. Even just trying to submit the
original text. I am guessing something changed in this version of MM, but
I don't know.
I got this syntax from Mark here a while ago. I use it to automatically
discard spam from certain domains:
Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@(.*\.)?heatherandhailey\.com$
When I get a new domain to discard, I cut and paste one of the other domain
lines and swap out the new domain and change .com to .org or whatever if
needed.
I'm trying to create this line:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@(.*\.)?hunt4loot\.com$
But then I get the error:
Error: Bad email address for option discard_these_nonmembers:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@(.*\.)?heatherandhailey\.com$ [EMAIL
PROTECTED]@(.*\.)?myloveschool\.com$
[and so on, listing every line in my box, including plain email addresses
with no funny characters.]
When this has happened before, I remove the new line(s), resubmit and the
error disappears. Then I carefully put my new info back, one line at a
time, until I find the error and fix it.
But this time, even resubmiting the old info results in an error msg.
I thought maybe it didn't like some old code I had in there that turned out
to be ineffective but harmless. So I tried cutting it but it still gives
me the error msg.
The only changes I've made since the last time I got it to work have been
to use the auto-discard option on the moderation page.
I can post the entire code I have if anyone wants, but it's rather long and
I didn't want to flood the list.
My ISP recently upgraded from version 2.1.9 to version 2.1.11.
Not too much has changed that would affect this. Each entry must look
syntactically like a valid email address or be a valid regexp starting
with ^ or be a listname preceded by @. The @listname feature is new in
2.1.10, but it should result in accepting more, not less (and the actual
listname isn't validated at this point).
There was a change in email address validation in that an address with
an unquoted local part containing ':', '\' or '"' is now considered
invalid. E.g., previously, the (invalid) address doe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] would
have been accepted, but now it must be "doe:j"@example.com. This was
changed in 2.1.11 to fix the bug report at
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1956393&group_id=103&atid=100103>.
So I suspect you must have an address already in
discard_these_nonmembers that fails this new test.
