5.5.4 … Domain name required for sender

[anonymous]

When I select a virtual identity to send an email with, I get an error from the smtp server:

The mail server responded: 5.5.4 … Domain name required for sender address Remco Lam. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences ans try again.

I’ve had this before with virtual identity and had to switch back to a previous version to solve it.

[Remco Lam]

Diggin a little bit deeper, it seems to be be caused because virtual identity takes the address from what’s in the “from” field. However, using the pulldown menu to select another email address results in the from fiels only containing “Remco Lam” , so there is no in the from field.

Because of this, virtual identity just sends the Remco Lam as email address, which is an invalid address, of course…

Sorry, this is way to few information. Please reopen the ticket if you can give more precise information. For instance a list of email accounts or a Screenshot of the Dropdown menu (if you don't like to publish it here, send it peer personal mail to me). Also a dump of the Debugging-log will be nice.
