Description Maciej Pilichowski 2007-11-01 10:05:12 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)

Composer before putting mail into queue validates the mail -- if something is not correct composer refuses to process such mail. And user cannot do anything about this.

There should be option to force sending. Reasons:
a) KMail as any software in the world can contain (and does contain) bugs -- also in validating functions
b) KMail is not a mail server, so the last word should belong to mail server not KMail -- in other words any mail client should not try to be smarter than server
c) user can see some reason/have some additional purposes, to send such mail
d) validating mail should be a help not a limit what user can/cannot do

what types of errors? Only the one of bug #151679 or even others?
Comment 2 Maciej Pilichowski 2008-06-27 15:33:53 UTC 
Finex, this is recursive link.

Example: "incorrect" e-mail address.

All "stop on error" behaviour (while queue) should be changed to "warn on error".
