Hi!
Another mailman problem, just for You: On one of my lists a strange mail occoured: it came from szecsei virag, who has NO email address at budapest.hu But the mail, that was distributed by the list contains a header: From: Szecsei@sas.fph.hu, =?iso-8859-1?Q?Vir=E1g?= <fszecsei@mail.matav.hu>
I'm not sure, it might be a problem in sendmail or anything, i thing the original address was From: Szecsei, Vira'g <fszecsei@mail.matav.hu> (but the a' was an eastern european letter) And somewhere, somewhat tried to convert it to a "living" address by adding the hostname to the first word.
Ok, I see what's happening here, but it isn't with Mailman.The =?iso...?= stuff is the MIME way of quoting non latin-1 charsets. Some MTA probly did that, and you email program dosen't support MIME RFC <whatever it is> encoded headers.
Second, as I see by your message ID you are using PINE on sas.fph.hu PINE is what is adding the hostname to that first part. It's thinking 'Szecsei' is a local emal address, & tacking the local hostname (sas.fph.hu) onto it for you.
Third, that address is technically bogus. Commas are not allowedin address comments.
