A list member wants to change her subscriptions from @xxx.edu to @mail.xxx.edu. She is unable to do so globally, received this message:
Bad email address provided Member name successfully changed.
Later she unsubscribed from a different list and on attempting to re-subscribe with the new address (@mail.xxx.edu) she got this error: The email address you supplied is not valid. (E.g. it must contain an`@'.)
Any suggestions for this type of mail address? (Didn't find anything helpful in the archives) ... and, yes I can manually subscribe her.
Thank you,

There should be no reason why Mailman would not accept an address of the form username@mail.xxx.edu for a global or individual list address change from the user's options page.
Later she unsubscribed from a different list and on attempting to re-subscribe with the new address (@mail.xxx.edu) she got this error: The email address you supplied is not valid. (E.g. it must contain an`@'.)
I'm only guessing here, but it seems she is not actually providing an email address of the form username@mail.xxx.edu. She is providing an invalid address which is syntactically invalid for some reason other than the domain's being mail.xxx.edu.

And can you subscribe her mail.xxx.edu address using the methods that she is using (subscribe from the list's listinfo page)?
