Yes, that is right.

Well, maybe somebody wants to use your program in an intranet,
which does not have a official domain name. I understand your
problem with the account name only, but what is wrong with
mbudde at ovid. ovid could be a top level domain like com.

Does the mailman source support messages/pages in different 
languages? If you´re interested, I could create German translations
of your messages.

One of my mailing list users can't subscribe from BeOS using Opera, even
though he has no problem using Netscape from Linux or IE from Windows.  Here
is the message he gets:

this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what happened.
