When a list owner submits the 'add' command via email, the owner must use the following format for the new subscriber's email address and name: [log in to unmask] Henry Brown When a list owner adds a subscriber using the web interface, the owner may use either of the following formats: [log in to unmask] Henry Brown Henry Brown <[log in to unmask]> This inconsistency creates confusion and leads to errors. We frequently encounter situations in which a list owner has added a subscriber via the web using the following format for the new subscriber's email address and name: Henry Brown [log in to unmask] LISTSERV interprets this information in the following manner: Name: Brown [log in to unmask] Address: Henry and silently adds the default domain to the unqualified address. The web interface should be modified to: (a) Provide more robust syntax checking that recognizes either <[log in to unmask]> or [log in to unmask] as the subscriber's address, regardless of its placement in relation to the subscriber's name; or (b) Accept only the format used on the email 'add' command, i.e., the email address followed by the name. -- Paul Russell Senior Systems Administrator OIT Messaging Services Team University of Notre Dame
