Can we fix the registration form for the newsgroups to require that the
email address provided is actually valid, as far as the RFC goes? At
the very least, require that it will match /.*@.*\..*/? The reason is
that SMTP breaks otherwise - see below. The email address Jason is
posting with is "spielboy.at.gmail.dot.com" - which is great - except
that qmail on pair thinks it's a local address, and adds the
@qs483.pair.com to it.
I've seen such errors before, and it's really confusing. In many cases,
the "From" actually shows as "LUGNET Server" for these emails!
