May I suggest the following change:
During the list flattening, do not include users with invalid pobox
information. For instance, if a user does not have a pobox, do not add
that name in the alias list.
For instance (partial list):
LIST vice-squad
LIST administrators
USER carla
USER afsadmin
USER wesommer
USER sms <-- no pobox
USER aida
USER jis
STRING qjb
STRING probe
KERBEROS ...
This will also solve problems if there is no pobox information as well.
Recommended aliases output:
vice-squad: administrators, ...
administrators: carla, afsadmin, wesommer, aida, jis, qjb, probe
The idea is that it reduces the chance of lists with the same name as
special users (such as sms used to be) to be included on a mailing list.
It will also then reduce the breakage that may occur if pobox
information is accidentally deleted.
