List flag: check-addrs If this flag is set, submissions and subscription requests (including addresses added by "auto-subscribe") must appear to come from an address that is reasonably formatted so that replies are likely to reach the original subscriber. If "auto-subscribe" is set on a list as well as "check-addrs", and a submission arrives from an address for which the "check-addrs" test fails, "auto-subscribe" is ignored for that submission. The "check-addrs" test divides the address into a user part and a host part, and will pass if and only if all of the following are true: - the user part and the host part both exist (e.g. not just a userid; there must be an "@" or "%" in there someplace) - the host part does not end with a period - the host part contains only letters, numbers, hyphens and dots, with no adjacent dots and no terminating dot (as per RFC1034 section 3.5) - the user part and the host part both contain - the user part and the host part must not contain any non-printable characters - the user part must contain at least one alphanumeric character NOTE: This flag is obsolete and will be removed in a near-future version of listmanager.
