277669 - SMTP Error connecting to Qmail

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Mike Pengelly]

The Qmail SMTP server I am using has been set up so that it rejects a message 
if one or more of the recipients is an invalid LOCAL address (that is to say 
the user name does not correspond to a mailbox or an alias). After Thunderbird 
receives one of these rejections ALL subsequent attempts to send messages are 
rejected with the same error message. The only way to clear the problem is to 
re-start Windows. Other email clients I have installed on this system process 
this error condition correctly - that is to say they accept valid rejectios 
and do not fail on valid message headers.

I"m not sure how this could be a client problem - we don't cache smtp sessions
on the client and we don't cache the error message. You could get an SMTP
protocol by following these instructions
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews/mail-troubleshoot.html#imap

and substituting SMTP for protocol.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
