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.
