I'm using version 2.1.10 (FreeBSD port) with Postfix 2.4.1 (FreeBSD port). I just tried this again through the web interface (not as an admin, but as someone attempting to subscribe) and I got the same results. I used the address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (without quotes) and no name in the name field. Verbatim, I get this response: You must supply a valid email address. That is it. I've tested with other email addresses, not containing a period, and they all work fine.
