This is the error I get:
sending : RCPT TO:<all_volunteers>
received: 501 <all_volunteers>: recipient address must contain a domain
CamelException.setv(0xb0bfc23c, 2, 'RCPT TO <all_volunteers> failed:
<all_volunteers>: recipient address must contain a domain')
sending : QUIT
received: 221 mx4.freeparking.co.uk closing connection
Saving 1/4 dirty records of Outbox

I've checked the addresses - all seem to have a domain, and the format
matches another (much shorter) contact list that I use with no problems.
