[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#353665: mailman: all emails in emaillistex are reported instead of just bad emails

[Paul Wise]

Package: mailman
Version: 2.1.5-8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

When you have bad emails in an emaillistex in the admin interface (such
as privacy/sender/discard_these_nonmembers), the error lists all the
email addresses instead of just the bad ones. This is annoying when you
have heaps of addresses (including a few bad ones) that were added from
the admindb interface with the "Add foo at bar.com to one of these sender
filters:" option (which doesn't seem to check if the email is valid).

The attached patch applies to mailman 2.1.7-1, and makes mailman only
report the bad addresses instead of all of the addresses. There is one
problem - in 2.1.5, it causes mailman to traceback when the admin puts a
% sign in the discard_these_nonmembers/etc box. I'm not really sure how
to fix this, or if the same thing happens in 2.1.7.

Anyways, it would be nice if this could find its way upstream at some
point.

BTW, any plans to switch to quilt instead of dpatch? Seeing as there are
so many patches, that might reduce the time needed to prepare and update
patches.
