The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

A bug has been reported by "Frederic ALLIOD" <address@concealed> :

The problem occurs when sending a file/message/report to an email
address beginning with a "-". When invoking sendmail, this is considered
by sendmail like an argument which he doesn't understand. Sendmail call
fails and Sympa dies. 


Here is a patch :
