655530 - Identifying address that fails when send message to address list

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 677253

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, enhancement)

Description

[Avner Falk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110414 Thunderbird/3.1.10

While sending mail to an address list, Thunderbird displays an error message from the SMTP server saying ""An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Invalid recipient. Please check the message recipient and try again." *It does not say which recipient is invalid.* When the list contains hundreds of addresses, it is well-nigh impossible to verify each one manually. The net result is that you cannot send your message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird's address book.
2. Create a new Address List.
3. Copy several hundred addresses from your Personal Address Book to this list.
4. Send a message to this list.

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird displays an error message from the SMTP server saying "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Invalid recipient. Please check the message recipient and try again." The message is not sent.

Expected Results:  
Tell me which recipient is the invalid one.

This bug can be found by Google search but no solution is out there.

Reporter suggest use of thunderplunger extension ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/thunderplunger/ )

I can't find a close bug for duping this
