SUMMARY Sending out mail by using distribution lists may lead to an incorrect mail delivery. The problem occurs if two or more distribution list names start with the same string, followed by a SPACE, followed by a unique identifier. Example: Name for distribution list 1: GRP A Name for distribution list 2: GRP B Each distribution list contains at least one valid email address which differs. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create 2 distribution lists named "GRP A" and "GRP B" (without quotes, there is a blank between GRP and the group identifier A/B). 2. Add one email address to "GRP A" and a different email address to "GRP B". 3. Create and send out two emails. The first should be addressed to "GRP A" and the second to "GRP B". OBSERVED RESULT As a result you should see 2 emails which have been sent to the recipients contained in "GRP B". The recipients in "GRP A" will never receive the email. EXPECTED RESULT The members of "GRP A" and "GRP B" should get the email which has been addressed to them. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: MacOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20190125 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0 Qt Version: 5.12.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Replacing the SPACE with a "-" will lead to a correct delivery. Replacing the SPACE with a "_" will lead to a message that says the email address isn't correct because the address contains no "."
There is another bug We can't create another list when there is a existing list name for example I create "GRP A" I try to create "GRP B" it tolds me that it's already exist... I need to fix it first
Thank's for letting me know. On my system I was able to create those two groups without any comments from the system / software. That's why the email I sent out was delivered to the wrong recipients.
How did you created it ? In kaddressbook directly ?
Yes, I created those lists by using the addressbook. I did not use the feature by creating distribution lists from kmail directly.
