            Bug ID: 330787
           Summary: E-mail failed to send. Too many recipients.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10.5
          Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: phil.davison1 at ntlworld.com

I have just started getting this message which suggests it is a server problem
rather than a KMail problem, but on very rare occasions I don't. 

Also I don't have this problem if I use webmail but I don't know enough about
how that works to know if it is done in a different way. 

I note from the internet that other people have had this issue as well and it
always gets blamed on the SMTP server but I am not so sure seeing as KMail has
enough other bugs to make me consider dumping what always used to be my
favourite e-mail client.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send an e-mail, or
2. Forward an e-mail, or
3. Reply to an e-mail
Actual Results:  
I get an error message which says, 

E-Mail Sending Failed. 
Failed to transport message. Message sending failed since the following
recipients were rejected by the server: [a single e-mail address] (The server
responded: "Too Many Recipients (VM502)"
This is a temporary failure. You may try again later.)

Expected Results:  
The software should have sent the message.

>From my personal, possibly selfish. perspective this is either major or grave
but I will mark it as "Normal" and to be fixed because I could just leave KMail
and use something else instead, but I don't like webmail so I don't want to
have to rely on that. And, of course, it might not actually be a KMail problem
although I am sure the webmail page uses the same servers to send and receive
mail.
