I'm running on 18.55 and this concerns mail mode.  I tried to send a
message to about 20 recipients a month ago during the holiday season when
many had turned on the unix "vacation" facility (which automatically
returns a mail telling that this recipient is currently not available.)

When I did (mail-send-and-exit) , the mail didnt reach the other recipients
as long as any of the recipients had an active "vacation". I had to remove
these recipients one after the other until I finally succeded.
Somebody has a clue ?
