Summary: can't unsub addr with double-at

Initial Comment:
Mailman version 2.1.8.  Python 2.4.1 as shipped in
Mandriva 2006.

One of our list owners mass-subscribed an address with
the at-sign doubled.  fubar@@example.net.

That pattern should be added to whatever input
sanitization mass-subscribe uses.

Once it was in there, he tried to mass unsubscribe it.
 Which failed, and caused a nightly error mailed to the
mailman user.  

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/remove_members", line 186, in ?
    main()
  File "bin/remove_members", line 176, in main
    admin_notif, userack)
  File "/u/m/mcal/run/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1014,
in ApprovedDeleteMember
    self.removeMember(emailaddr)
  File "/u/m/mcal/run/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships.py",
line 220, in removeMember
    self.__assertIsMember(member)
  File "/u/m/mcal/run/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships.py",
line 113, in __assertIsMember
    raise Errors.NotAMemberError, member
Mailman.Errors.NotAMemberError: fubar@

The bad address shows up in Membership Management but
you can't do anything with it.  Its mail gets disabled
for excessive bouncing.

Not knowing how to drive bin/config_list, my workaround
was Perl edit in place on the pickle.
 perl -pi -e 's/fubar\@\@/fubar\@x/g' list/config.pck
and then I could remove fubar at xexample.net with
bin/remove_members.  Ugly, eh?

I wonder if this is the same bug as 551730.


Thanks for working on this,
Cameron

Have you tried checking 'unsub' on the admin membership list
and 'Submit Your Changes'?

If that doesn't work, see
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.013.htp
for the 'withlist' method.

For what it's worth, I tried mass subscribing
msapiro@@value.net with both the distribution 2.1.5 and my
2.1.8+ working copy and I get "Bad/Invalid email address".

Are you sure this is how the subscribe was done?
