           Summary: bogus contact addresses in Xserver/os/utils.c
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.7.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: alan.coopersmith at sun.com


If you try to start the X server with an argument longer than 128 characters it
tells you to mail "&&&&&@X.org" - checking Xserver/os/utils.c we see:

#define ARGMSG \
    "\nIf the arguments used are valid, and have been rejected incorrectly\n" \
      "please send details of the arguments and why they are valid to\n" \
      "&&&&&@X.org.  In the meantime, you can start the Xserver as\n" \
      "the \"super user\" (root).\n"   

#define ENVMSG \
    "\nIf the environment is valid, and have been rejected incorrectly\n" \
      "please send details of the environment and why it is valid to\n" \
      "&&&&&@X.org.  In the meantime, you can start the Xserver as\n" \
      "the \"super user\" (root).\n"


Perhaps these should be BuilderEmailAddr or some sort of VenderSupportContact
define, with a default of xorg at freedesktop.org or something like that?
