Hi, I have 50 mails in my outbox to be sent. Some email addresses might be bad. This ALERT keeps popping up - An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 4.1.2 <ramanjit@pn.globalindianschool.g>: Recipient address rejected: Domain not found. Please check the message recipient ramanjit@pn.globalindianschool.g and try again.

I do not want to manually close this alert. Is there some add-on or some configuration way to switch off these alerts. I went to Config Editor and made value = false for some errors but dont know much

I do not want to use a separate mass mailing software. There must be some way around this

Thanks Kapil

re: The mail server responded: 4.1.2 <ramanjit@pn.globalindianschool.g>: Recipient address rejected

You will get a response from the server like the above if you attempt to send an email using an email address that is incorrect. It is not a response from Thunderbird.

change the email address to the correct one. eg: ramanjit@pn.globalindianschool.org

That is also assuming the person is still at the organisation and the email address is valid. If the person is no longer with that organisation, then the email address may no longer be in use.

Dear Toad,

Thank you for your detailed response. I do know the address was bad and that is why the message popped up. I know it is not from Thunderbird but from the SMTP server. The error message clearly says the 'mail server responded'.

The way I understand it, Thunderbird is the medium or channel of communication. If it can pass a message from the server to me, it must also design a method for me to block messages, hide them for the time being or log them in a file. These are simple design principles.

I was hoping this there were some expert settings in Thunderbird that would enable the same. Would love to hear if there are any such settings though I found a work around to the problem.

There is a tool called ClickOff. The first time I need to select the Alert popup and let the tool recognize it. Next time if the same Alert pops up it closes it on its own. This is a life saver and works across all applications. Written originally for Win95. Wonderful!

Then why don't you simply fix the address?

... it must also design a method for me to block messages

This is what filters are for. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Filters_(Thunderbird)

Having said that, I don't think filtering error messages from the server will do you any good.

Good luck with that.
