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 erikfjer@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 https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=98153

This one is devoted to the one-character domain name support (as per its title), and is fixed now :-)
I tested the daily win64 7.4.0.0 for both 5 and 7 April versions and both failed my objective test for single letter domain email merge. I used my email address (@gmail.com) and a modified one with @gmail.com replaced with @q.com When emailing to that address (via gmail) with q.com I get a prompt error of "no such address" returned by the q.com mail server. When sending to these two domains (gmail.com and q.com) via LO email mail merge, the gmail.com message promptly goes through, but there is no response (error message) introduced by the q.com address. My conclusion is that the mail merge process didn't send that message to the q.com server. The dialog flashes by too quickly to see exactly what is happening (another bug under review), but appears to suggest the 2 messages were sent correctly as far as LO is concerned.
(In reply to Erik Fjerstad from comment #5) It definitely sends the mail to 1-char domain. I tested it, and I get bounces consistently. It goes from LibreOffice, reaches SMTP server, and then it's out of LibreOffice's responsibility. You need to debug this locally to find out what might be wrong.
(In reply to Erik Fjerstad from comment #5) The dialog > flashes by too quickly to see exactly what is happening (another bug under > review) Note that the dialog is fixed to stay *on errors*. I don't think it needs to stay to say that everything went OK. So it is fine that it just flashes when there's no errors.
Further research confirms the single-letter domain now works. The bounce-back from the server (wne using LO mail merge) due to "no such address" was getting filtered into my spam folder whereas testing the single letter domain email address via my gmail client would bounce back into my primary folder. Such bounce-backs from mail merge (using my available SMTP server) previously weren't treated as spam, so I hadn't been looking there. Thanks for fixing this! Erik
