202101 - SMTP accounts with names containing '@' or '%' don't "really" send out mails

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030412
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030412

I have encountered this bug after the recent fix of bug 86370 and maybe some
other related fixed. When I send a mail through SMTP using an account containing
'@' in its name, the mail is not really sent out, though everything looks right.

I have tested the account with Mozilla 1.4a and it worked, despite the blank
entries as described in bug 86370.

I think this result is even more serious than blank entries, as the account now
becomes unusable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a default SMTP server with account name containing '@' or '%'.
2. Send a mail.

Actual Results:  
The mail is saved into the Sent folder, and everything looks right, but the mail
is not really sent out.

Expected Results:  
The mail should be sent.

I tested this with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b)
Gecko/2003041508:
- created a new gmx.de account
- created a new Mozilla profile with only one mail account (the gmx-account)
- sent a mail to my normal mail account

Result: works fine for me

Hmm, it seems that this is not a bug, but is caused by some compile
optimisations. I have built a new one without optimisation and it works now.
