294787 - SMTP relaying denied after some period of inactivity, when using POP Authenticated Relaying servers

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 228198

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Raul Carvalho]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I have a server that makes use of POP Authenticated Relaying for relaying
prevention.
When I first run thunderbird, it logs in to the server and I can receive and
send emails.
If I wait about 30 minutes and try to send an email, I get the "relaying denied"
message, because the server requires me to login again.
Since I am using IMAP and Thunderbird keeps the connection alive, in order to
send an email, I have to restart Thunderbird (forcing Thunderbird to re-login to
the IMAP server).
I hope you can do something about it!
Best regards,
Raul

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use IMAP and POP Authenticated Relaying SMTP server
2. Start Thunderbird, check you can receive and send emails
3. Wait the period configured for the POP Authenticated Relaying to expire (for
my server, it's about 30 minutes of inactivity)
4. Try to send a new email
Actual Results:  
An SMTP error message appears "Realying Denied"

Expected Results:  
Somehow detect the POP Authenticated Relaying and take countermeasures (ex: if
Thunderbird detects the realy denied message, try to logoff, logon and sen the
email again. if the errors persists, alert the user, else send the email.
