merged email problem - when email address is single letter domain name (like 
xyz@q.com) the email merge fails that address.  
Quote from ACKNAK on user forum: "When I enable debugging output from the 
python mailer script, it's clear that OOo is not even contacting the outgoing 
mail server with the q.com addresses; OOo just fails them before even trying to 
send them."

Contact me directly for my private email address on q.com for test purposes if 
necessary.

@OS: See the thread of the given link at the description. 
The problem with the one letter domain is confirmed, but I'm not able to
evaluate this.
The part with the mail server should be double to 93583

I reported this bug in 2009, I am surprised to see it hasn't been corrected.  I resumed a newsletter maintenance role and discovered that it is still broken.  Quite annoying.  I have a workaround script to modify all single-letter domain names to add a space, which though an "invalid" address, is acceptable to the mail merge tool.  For example abc@q.com becomes abc@q .com and the mailer accepts it and properly sends it.
Why not add such a line of code in the mailer, it may be easier than actually fixing the bug.
