Description Damir Perisa 2007-08-03 14:37:02 UTC 
Version:           1.9.7 (using KDE 3.5.7, Arch Linux)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-ARCH

redirecting emails does not work to distribution lists. 

sending fails with this:

Sending failed:
The attempt to start sending the message content failed. The server responded: "5.5.1 Error: no valid recipients"
The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder.

so probably kmail does not resolve the recipients from the distrubution list. the message saved in outbox has 

X-KMail-Redirect-From: original author <his email> (by way of My Name <my email>)

set correctly but

X-KMail-Recipients: jufogen-members

is set to distrubution list instead of the addresses from it. 

==> distribution lists cannot be used as targets for redirection. too bad, would come handy in quite a lot of cases....

I am getting the same behavior in version 1.10.0 under KDE 4.1.1 (Release 26.4) running on a 64 bit AMD with the 32 bit versions of Opensuse 11.0 and software installed.
Comment 3 Christoph Paasch 2008-11-20 10:19:10 UTC 
Same behaviour here, with Kmail, 1.10.3, KDE 4.1.3 on a 64bit machine with Kubuntu 8.10 64bit.
Comment 4 E. Hakan Duran 2008-12-22 19:06:09 UTC 
Same behaviour with Kmail 1.10.3, KDE 4.1.3 i586 Mandriva 2009.0.
Comment 5 Dominik Tritscher 2009-04-05 13:44:19 UTC 
Works fine in kmail 1.11.90 built from trunk.
Comment 6 Christoph Paasch 2009-07-30 10:08:07 UTC 
Works fine for me with KMail 1.12, KDE 4.3 RC3...

As this seems to be fixed, I'm closing this report.
