Problem with accept_these_nonmembers

[Barry-s-finkel]

I posted this to mailman-users May 01, 2007, and Mark Sapiro replied with a
detailed diagnosis.

I create new Mailman (2.1.9) lists via copying template files. One of my
template files has:

accept_these_nonmembers = ['<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>',
   '<email address hidden> (Joe Bleaux)', '<email address hidden>']

(I have split the line for easier readibility.) When I create a new list
via

     /usr/sbin/newlist $listname
     config_list -i $1.config $listname

I get no complaints, and the administrator web interface shows the four
addresses with the parenthesized name after the third address. I have not
tested whether any of these addresses can post to the new list. But when I
want to add another address to the list (or remove an address) via the
admin web interface, I get an error messsage about an incorrect address.
When I remove the parenthesized name, the error message is not produced.
If the parenthesized name is not valid, I would expect an error message
during the config_list command execution.
