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(a)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).

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.

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.

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"(a)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.
