Description Steve Weed 2003-09-18 16:33:47 UTC
Version:           KAddressBook 3.1  KMail 1.5  KDE 3.1-12 Red Hat (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.2 using KDE from Red Hat binary RPMs
OS:          Linux

Most email contacts are local to my mailserver "hermes",
so valid addresses could include:
weed, fi, fe, fo, fum

.. but others are served by a corporate mailserver,
with addresses such as:
boss@lexmark.com

A distribution list "foie", comprised of "fe fi fo"
sends "foie" mail to all 3 local addresses, as expected.

Another distribution list "news", comprised of "fe fi boss@lexmark.com"
unexpectedly ONLY delivers "news" email to boss@lexmark.com.

Changing all local contacts to be "fe@hermes fi@hermes fo@hermes", etc and
updating the "news" distribution list to those qualified email addresses
causes "news" email to be delivered to all distribution list entries, as expected.

libkabc just stores the email addresses, if kmail handles the entries wrong
(sends not all), I can't influence it in libkabc/kaddressbook. For this reason
I reassign it to kmail.

I should clarify that only "boss at lexmark.com" showed up on the "To:"
line when "news" was entered, including the "Sent-Mail" folder copy.

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
