Very interesting...
I was able to create a user `is#weird' under Solaris 2.4 (see below)
I was able to send and receive mail
and I was able to subscribe and send mail back and forth from
a mailing list...
output from who testlist
--
>>>> who testlist
Members of list 'testlist':
frjones@sa.mnet.uswest.com

I'm running perl 2.034, majordomo 1.93, Solaris 2.4 with
patches (I'll send you a list if need be)
???
the only problem I had was admintool did *not* like a `#' sign
in the user id, contrary to the man page on useradd which says:
login is a string of printable characters that specifies
the new login name of the user, up to a maximum number of
eight characters. It may not contain a colon (:) or a new-
line (\n).
which I guess is Sun's problem. I was able to create a user without
the #, then edit passwd & shadow to add it. From there, no problems.
So my guess is that if you can't add a user with a `#' that is more a
problem of rev's of perl/majordomo or an OS restriction.
