hrm, it seems to be even worse than just forwarding messages ... replying to the enlightenment alias hits the same error ...
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2010-02-11 08:35:17 UTC 
sending e-mails to even just one gentoo person hits the error

ok, nm the last two comments ... kmail would keep retrying my pending forwards and when the mail server barfed, it wouldnt process anything else.  i thought kmail would be a bit smarter than this, but i guess not.  temporarily archiving the forwards let the rest of the queue move out.
