1195155 - Email fails to send due to invalid email address formerly valid. Alert states message size exceeds temporary size limit of server

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[gaalrayn]

Attachment: Screen shot of Alert message

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/39.0
Build ID: 20150806001005

Steps to reproduce:

Sent an email with an email address that was previously valid but is no longer valid. Always reproducible regardless whether sent alone, with others, in list, as To, as cc, or as bcc. It did NOT occur with a known spurious address, which sent but which bounced back later.

As to my list (with only 29 names), the 213 character email without attachments sent as soon as the offending email was removed.

I changed smtp's, and obtained the same results using both smtp.integra.net and smtpout.secureserver.net (goDaddy).


Actual results:

Immediately upon clicking send, the following popup "Alert" appeared: "The size of the message you are trying to send exceeds a temporary size limit of the server. The message was not sent; try to reduce the message size or wait some time and try again. The server responded:  ... temporary failure."


Expected results:

The email should have sent.

There is some similar discussion of similar error messages that seem to be caused by the same problem in Bug 197134 (See Comment 8 for excellent suggestions) and Bug 300937. But the problem remains.
