833222 - Message failed to send but goes to Sent folder anyway

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 780124

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Hugh Allen]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1312.52 Safari/537.17

Steps to reproduce:

Tried to send a message via Bigpond's SMTP server from Optus Mobile Broadband IP 49.176.33.7 (I'm actually using Amaysim which is an MVNO on the Optus network). I'm behind a carrier-grade NAT and share this IP with many other users. The IP address is apparently listed in Spamhaus's block list :(

Server name: mail.bigpond.com
Port no: 465
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
Authentication Method: normal password

Exact Thunderbird version: 17.0.2


Actual results:

Thunderbird produced the error message "An error occurred sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting:  nschwcmgw06p BigPond Outbound [OB105. Connection refused. 49.176.33.7 is listed on the Exploits Block List (XBL). Please visit http://www.spamhaus.org/xbl/ for more information.."

However, the message was moved to the Sent folder despite not being delivered (I sent it to myself as a test, so I know it didn't make it).


Expected results:

The message should stay in the Drafts folder to let the user know it hasn't been sent.

I realize this bug might be hard to reproduce for you guys (sorry!), but for me at the moment it's quite repeatable, even though I get a different IP address with each data session on the Optus network.

Closing as dup of bug 780124. If duping is wrong, re-open, please.
