yo dudes,
One of my friends has a screwy summer email address, specifically:
"/PN=MWRIG/OU=OSC-SULLY/O=SMOSC/PRMD=LANGATE/ADMD=TELEMAIL/C=US/"@sprint.com

she is also trying to forward her email to there and I do not believe she has
been succsessful.  The error in adding her to a mailing list is:
Command: 1
Add a member to this list
Type of member (KERBEROS, LIST, STRING, USER) [user]: string
Name of STRING to add [iggy]: '"/PN=MWRIG/OU=OSC-SULLY/O=SMOSC/PRMD=LANGATE/ADMD=TELEMAIL/C=US/"@sprint.com'
listmaint: Illegal character in argument in AddMember

I have been successful in sending email to this address.  I have also sent
email to postmaster@sprint.com asking if there is an address without the /'s
however, I believe the problem is that / is not a legal character in a STRING
address and I believe it should be.

Thanks,
