When sending invitations from my contacts or recent addresses drop-down list, with outgoing mail server smtp.gmail.com, I get the following error : " Message sending failed since the following recipients were rejected by the server". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. I send an invitation to someone from the drop-down list (from my contact list) with the format "ContactName <Contact.Name@domain.xxx>". Actual Results: I always get the following error : "E-Mail Sending Failed - Failed to transport message. Message sending failed since the following recipients were rejected by the server: ContactName (The server responded: "5.5.2 Syntax error g78sm112724itb.12 - gsmtp") Expected Results: To receive a notification displaying that the e-mail has been sent successfully. 1. My outgoing mail server is "smtp.gmail.com". 2. I tried with the outgoing mail server "smtp-mail.outlook.com" and it works as expected. 3. It is a google-smtp-related problem. 4. An easy, but not user-friendly, workaround is to remove the "ContactName<" and ">" part of the drop-down list contact. The drop-down list is useful to get contacts and recent e-mail addresses, but with this bug, it becomes less useful.
Does not only apply to Google's SMTP server. I have the same issue with an MS Exchange 2013 server on the other end.
it's fixed in 5.6.0
