User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100608 Thunderbird/3.1

I have a mailing list (mailinglist1) that consists of individual contacts and a mailinglist (mailinglist2).  When I send to "mailinglist1" I get the message: 

An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded:  5.5.2 <mailinglist2>: Recipient address rejected: need fully-qualified address. Please check the message recipient "mailinglist2" and try again.

This used to work until I upgraded to Thunderbird 3.1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a mailing list that has several contacts
2.Create a second mailing list that references the first
3.Send a message to the second mailing list
Actual Results:  
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded:  5.5.2 <mailinglist2>: Recipient address rejected: need fully-qualified address. Please check the message recipient "mailinglist2" and try again.

Expected Results:  
The mail gets sent to all individual contacts in mailinglist1 and mailinglist2

I "fixed" the problem.  I went back to Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (whatever the most current version 2 was).  It was simple, I just installed it over 3.1.

Things are way better now.

I suspect the description should have read "5.5.2 <mailinglist1>..." instead of "<mailinglist2>", as it would have been the embedded list (the first one) that was not expanded.  This is a dup of Bug 542947.
