I'm not sure either because I don't know if any of that white space is actually there or not. However, this part '.*+' is absolutely wrong. The + needs a preceding \ or the entire RE is invalid. And you don't want to hack the code either because trying to keep a list of actual addresses is futile because there keep being more, the permutations with '.' notwithstanding. You want either the regexp I'm using or one of the 'safer' ones in my reply at <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2015-September/079874.html>. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
