[Mailman-Users] Double '@' in member mail address; can't remove this address

[Rolf E. Sonneveld]

Hi,

a user has subscribed via the web interface, making a typo in the mail 
address. The address subscribed is something like 
First.Last@@domain.com. When I try to remove that address, I get an 
error (no matter whether I use the admin web interface to remove the 
address, or whether I try it from the command line). From the command 
line, I get:

bash-2.05# ./remove_members maillist First.Last@@domain.com
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./remove_members", line 186, in <module>
    main()
  File "./remove_members", line 176, in main
    admin_notif, userack)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1014, in 
ApprovedDeleteMember
    self.removeMember(emailaddr)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships.py", line 220, in 
removeMember
    self.__assertIsMember(member)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships.py", line 113, in 
__assertIsMember
    raise Errors.NotAMemberError, member
Mailman.Errors.NotAMemberError: First.Last@


no matter whether I enclose the mail address in single-quotes, 
double-quotes, no-quotes-at-all or whether I use regexp format to escape 
the dots and/or the at-signs. When I try to remove the address via the 
admin web interface I get:


          Error Unsubscribing:

    * First.Last@@domain.com -- Not subscribed


Is there any other way to remove this address from the list?
