Description Need Real Name 1998-12-22 22:16:03 UTC 
the user addition code needs to at least do a lookup of the
host name to see if it exists before it tries to add the
user.
Comment 1 Need Real Name 1999-02-19 19:23:59 UTC 
added changes to lose any spaces that were accidentally inserted into
email addresses (see bug #1223).  while this wasn't really a bug, and
has code to explicitly deny email addresses with spaces in them, it
was a simple thing to add.
Comment 2 Need Real Name 1999-03-22 14:26:59 UTC 
Backed out changed for #1223 because it was causing "oddities" that it
shouldn't have.  I choose the lesser of two evils.
Comment 3 Anonymous 1999-04-22 20:19:59 UTC 
This is just too difficult to do; there's no concrete way to ensure
that hostnames exist with DNS servers going up and down all the time.
