What SMTP server was used and what was the number of recipients (to be able to
reproduce it) ?
Can you check the exact message kmail showed ?

Sidenote:
I think that the error code returned from this server is not correct.
RFC 2821 says that error codes starting with 4 are temporary errors:
"A rule of thumb to determine
      whether a reply fits into the 4yz or the 5yz category (see below)
      is that replies are 4yz if they can be successful if repeated
      without any change in command form or in properties of the sender
      or receiver (that is, the command is repeated identically and the
      receiver does not put up a new implementation.)"

But I assume that the number of recipients is a server implementation limit and
therefore a hard limit.
