Bug ID: 148338
Summary: Writer Mail Merge Failure with one-letter domain names
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: erikf...@gmail.com
Description:
7.4.0.0 April 2 dev version successfully mail merges and emails, but fails to
send email for single letter domain names such as "@q.com". Further, the email
function quickly flashes through the process without pausing upon completion to
show statistics on how many emails were sent, how many failed, with a detail
list of the email address used (as open office used to for same function).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create email database with at least one address with q.com as the mail
server. You can use erikf...@q.com as I confirm this address does not exist on
q.com
2. Create a document with the email field visible
3. Process the mail merge, note correct email address (with q.com) in document
4. Select the email function, identifying the email field
5. Observe mail process to apparently finish correctly, without any reported
error.
6. Manually using an email client, send an email to the q.com address used in
the mail merge. Note the quick response from q.com for "address not found",
yet note that no such message was received for the mail merged process.
In the "open office" version, this would have resulted in an error reported in
the mail merge email dialogue as "invalid email address". Libre Office Writer
provides no such warning. The workaround I discovered and used in Open OFfice
was to place a space after the single letter domain, which somehow Open Office
accepted and successfully sent. In the example "erikfjer@q .com" was processed
successfully by open office writer mail merge. This workaround does not seem
to work with Libre Office Writer Mail Merge, as the q.com server didn't respond
with an error and Libre Office didn't report any issues either.
Actual Results:
No reported errors, email to q.com domain failed.
Expected Results:
Some form of warning about an invalid email address, at least what Libre Office
(and open office before it) considered invalid - an address with a single
letter domain name. Single letter domain names, while rare, are legal and
should be accepted. Also, the email process should provide statistics on how
many emails were sent and how many failed.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
OpenGL enabled: Yes
Additional Info:
Previously reported for open office
