I see the same behaviour in my older version - Now that the "problem" 
message is deleted, I am unable to reproduce the original error message 
about sender.  The text about blocking other emails and name of 
transport-profile where part of the original error message.  When the 
"problem" message was in outbox and I composed a new message, I would get 
the error message immediately when I clicked "send", Since the error popped 
up immediately, I assumed the error was for the current message, instead of 
the empty one - it took me a few days to figure out what was really happening.
