Version: SVN trunk (KDE 4) (using KDE 4.4.4) OS: Linux I've created a group in Kadressbook with 4 recipients. If i'm going now to KMail, i can choose that group. If i go to send the remote Server says me: The original message was received at Mon, 9 Aug 2010 03:01:28 +0200 from balancer4.mediabeam.com [194.25.41.40] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <Editors@linux-uhd2> (reason: 550 Host unknown) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 5.1.2 <Editors@linux-uhd2>... Host unknown (Name server: linux-uhd2: host not found) So i think that the export to an outboundmail with using KAdressbook atm fails. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Create a group, select this group in KMail and go to "send" Actual Results: Errormessage from the Remote Mailserver. Expected Results: No Errormessage ;-) Don't know what is expected now...
Same problem here with kmail 1.13.5 on Opensuse 11.3, kde 4.4.4 I can create groups even from with kmail (Although they are still called distribution lists there). However sending to any existing or newly created group results in kmail attempting to send to Groupname@Default.domain instead of resolving the individual group addresses
Anything news in this topic?
Still not fixed in 4.5
Mandriva 2010 Spring is using KMail 1.13.3 KDE 4.4.3) and I have had the same problem. "Create Group" is greyed out and the content of the distribution list appears to be either encrypted in some way or just replaced with gibberish. The group is then treated as a single contact and because the contents can't be identified as valid e-mail addresses, KMail tries to send the mail to the group name @localhost (in my case).
Since updating to KDE 4.5.1 on Opensuse 11.3 but still using kmail 1.13.5 the issue is solved for me and groups are working as expected. Maybe this is not a kmail issue directly but had something to do with the addressbook backend?
ATM i'm using KDE 4.5.3 and KMail 1.13.5. I have a local group "Editors" and KMail sends it out as Editors@$myhost. The original message was received at Wed, 17 Nov 2010 18:59:03 +0100 from balancer04.mediabeam.com [10.100.1.40] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <Editors@linux-uhd2> (reason: 550 Host unknown) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 5.1.2 <Editors@linux-uhd2>... Host unknown (Name server: linux-uhd2: host not found) But i think KMail should solve the groups and insert this List into "TO".
Can we please also state which version of Linux we are all using? The reply from Sascha Manns might not actually be much use because it is saying, "There can't still be a problem because I'm all right." Apologies if you weren't actually saying that but to an English speaker that is exactly how I read it. I still have the problem (same system I mentioned at comment #4). I am using Mandriva and I know full well that there are some KDE problems which I have had over the last year or so which turned out to be Mandriva problems rather than KDE problems. If we can give the people who write or edit the code as much information as possible it might make things a lot easier for them to fix it for [insert flavour of Linux here] (or, in a perfect world, all versions of Linux). Thanks.
Also reproducable with KDEPIM 4.6 beta5. but if you leave the @ away it works
I cannot reproduce with the given steps: - Create several contacts in kaddressbook, - Add a group and add the contacts in the group, - in Kmail, select the group, - send mail No error message and the email was sent and received.
It’s important to name the group something@anything, otherwise it will work
ok, valid in master 1/ in Kaddressbook, create a group test@test, add contacts 2/ Try to send a message to this group -> The smtp server refuses the message.
Actually, please have a look at the attachment of bug 266147, it reproduces this error in KDE 4.8.0
I confirm it.
