Details

Not sure, if this should be posted to filters or to network/SMTP component. In our support forums a user reported a problem by using filters to forward messages. By this filter Thunderbird has to forward 20-30 messages. It seems the filter is sending these 20-30 messages in parallel, which leads to 20-30 parallel SMTP connections. The provider has a limit of 3 parallel SMTP conntections. This leads always to SMTP errors and failing the filter. It would be necessary to have an option to limit Thunderbirds parallel SMTP connections and/or parallel related filter actions.

Alexlhrig, You seem to be using a domain that implies special support for Thunderbird. Perhaps your organization would like to put some meat behind that domain, and contribute resources to allow a fix for this bug to be implemented?

Bug 136871 discusses a solution via smtp. Perhaps we dup this bug to it.
