--- Comment #1 from Bernhard Scheirle <bernhard+kde at scheirle.de> ---
It is not a translation error.

English Message:
Failed to transport message. Message sending failed since the following
recipients were rejected by the server:  recipient at host.de (The server
responded: "5.7.1 <invalid at host.de>: Sender address rejected: not owned by user
sender at host.de")

The Problem is that kmailtransport assumes that the mta immediately reports
errors.
But by default postfix delays the reporting of errors and reports them after
the "RCPT TO:" command. [1]
kmailtransport therefore assumes that there was an error with the recipients.

Forcing postfix to report errors immediately fixes this error, but has other
disadvantages [2].
