Hello, i just discovered a bug in sympa 3.2.1. 

sympa.pl -d output is here:
1022602742      List::is_user("????  ??? ???? <address@concealed>"@ut.ee)
1022602742     
List::verify(is_editor([listname],[sender])                )
1022602742      List::new(org.mafun)
1022602742      List::load(org.mafun)
1022602742      List::new(org.mafun)
1022602742      List::load(org.mafun)
1022602742      List::am_i(editor, "????  ??? ????
<address@concealed>"@ut.ee)
Nested quantifiers before HERE mark in regex m/^"??? << HERE ?  ??? ????
<address@concealed>"@ut.ee$/ at /usr/server/sympa/bin/List.pm line 3158.

In erratic row looks so:

return 1 if ($u->{'email'} =~ /^$who$/i);

Seems that the value given to regular expression should be quoted first.

My line numbers are not the same as original, because i have modified my
sympa, but this is original unmodified code, where this error happens.

This is somewhat a security bug as it stops sympa.pl operation and if
there is no automatic starter (i do have) you may not notice that it is
down.
