technically speaking, the part to the right of the @ is case 
insensitive. the part to the left of the @ is considered case 
sensitive. That's how the RFCs define it.

In practice, nobody seems to worry about this any more, and is case 
insensitive across the entire email. What I do now is store the email 
as it's given to me, but do case-insensitive searches on it (so a 
user couldn't subscribe both "fred@aol.com and "Fred@aol.com" -- 
because in practice, while the RFC says they *can* be different 
people, no mailer with half a brain would try something that loonie 
any more...

>admin approval list should be in database ?

I think the whole admin piece needs to be reworked. I've been mulling 
it over, but haven't written up my thoughts yet (being on vacation in 
Victoria eating, sleeping and relaxing has slowed my productivity a 
bit...)
