If this problem started when LISTSERV was moved from one platform to another, I would check with the system administrator to be sure that the mail server software on the new system is patched/configured to ensure proper handling of addresses in this format. There is a patch for sendmail to make it handle these addresses. I do not know what might be required for other MTA products. -- Paul Russell Senior Systems Administrator OIT Messaging Services Team University of Notre Dame
