>What were you trying to do?
> Well, I wasn't really trying to do anything. But here's the
>situation. A couple of weeks ago a created a list by the name of
>"dms". As it turns out, however, there is already a user in moira,
>with the status of "Enrolled/Registerable", or status 5, who has the
>username "dms". The owner of the list dms has sent mail to us
>explaining that now the user "dms" is receiving all the mail that is
>inteneded for the list, dms.
>
>What's wrong:
>A listname was created when it was already taken as a username
>
>What should have happened:
>
>When you go to setup a list in moira, it will tell you if the name is
>already in use. Since the "dms" mixup occurred, I guess it doesn't
>chack to see if a username is taken by that name. Could checking
>feature be added in moira s to prevent this from happening again?
>
>Thanks for any insight or help you can provide on the situation!
