More interestingly even - why did that one message cause a failure of the entire queue? (Obvious, as it is a queue...) However, this should have some sort of a system in place to allow recovery from errors such as this...

For that matter, how did it lose the recipients when it was nothing more than a reply to a message on the list, which should have automatically brought the addresses over from the message it was a reply to?
I thought of that, but I think for that to work might require a different format for storing messages. Actually, that is a good question...does Evolution use mbox or mdir format? And would one allow for some code that would skip over bad messages while the other doesn't, or does it really matter? I haven't seen a single email client yet that can recover from this error - but generally the error message will say something about the address blocks being empty, rather than simply relaying the error message it gets from the server. -- Bill Hartwell <raven macmanusnet net> MacManus Enterprises
