Unable to remove non-member
Hi Everyone,
I ran across a strange issue today. A client reported the inability to remove a non-member in the following format:
z_email/domain.org.za@domain.org.za
The reported error from Postorius was:
"The user could not be removed"
I used https://verifalia.com/validate-email to validate the email address and it is syntactically correct.

Is that all it said? The code says it is
The user could not be removed: <error message>
Where <error message> is the relevant HTTP error.

Mailman core thinks it's OK too as does RFC5322.

It says:
The user could not be removed:
Nothing comes after the colon.

I see the issue. when mailmanclient processes the delete request from
Postorius it calls the REST API DELETE method with the URL
lists/<listname>/<role>/<address> and the address is quoted with
urllib.parse.quote_plus, co in this case, the URL becomes
lists/<listname>/nonmember/z_email%2Fdomain.org.za@domain.org.za
This is all fine except the REST API doesn't call urllib.parse.unquote_plus to change the %2F back to slash. This is now reported at <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/774>.
