There has been an invalid entry returned by the FAS group dump for some time:
bbs,disabled,james francis toy iv,user,0
It contains no email address, but "disabled" in the addr field.
Now there's another invalid entry:
mahmoudelmegheny,mahmoud,elmegheny@hotmail.com,Mahmoud Ali,user,0
This entry consists of six fields instead of five. Perhaps one ',' is supposed to be a '.'?

I've said this many times...
The comma is part of the persons name, it needs to be either escaped or the delimiter changed (maybe a | or something).

There aren't any comma's in that persons name, its in his email address.

I am quite sure that comma's aren't allowed in email addresses. -Anand

The first example is a result of the new privacy policy. It is unfortunately valid. The second one is a bit more troubling. Anyone happen to know if ,'s are allowed in an email? If they are perhaps we need a different delimiter.

Kind of:
rfc2822: 3.4.1. Addr-spec specification
They are allowed, along with most everything else, but only with a quoted string ... so "mahmoud,elmegheny"@hotmail.com is a valid email addr. but without the quotes it isn't.

Then maybe we should change the delimiter, although this seems like it is pretty rare. -Anand
