[Mailman-Users] SMART_ADDRESS_MATCH isn't very

[Bob Weissman]

Defaults.py says:

	# When true, Mailman will consider user at host.domain to be the same address as
	# user at domain.  If set to 0, Mailman will consider user at host.domain to be the
	# same address as user at Host.DoMain, but different than user at domain.  Usernames
	# will always be case preserved, and host parts of addresses will all be
	# lowercased.
	SMART_ADDRESS_MATCH = 1

but this really doesn't work.

I have a user subscribed as name at eng.sun.com who just posted to a members-only list as name at sun.com. (Because of Sun's email setup, this is out of the user's control.) The posting failed to go through even though SMART_ADDRESS_MATCH was set to 1.

Has anyone else hit this problem and found a fix? It seems like it must be a logic error in Utils.FindMatchingAddresses(), but it's not obvious to me where the problem is.

Thanks,
