Just to clarify, the "illegal space" error triggers whenever an address is
submitted with, well, illegal space in it. This is a trick to prevent the
following
subscribe Full Name
subscribe me@host.com Full Name
etc.; those addresses are either illegal, or are interpreted as an
old-style address list (which we now use commas for). Since that's a bad
thing because it causes bizarre bounces, it gets trapped. This also
conveniently stops:
subscribe list-a list-b list-c me@host.com
that you get when people try to invent new syntaxes.
The user is sent a nice message when this happens telling them what they
did wrong.
