Tilmann:  Yes, I checked for leading and tailing spaces in group names, the error is repeated in different groups, and the error message is the same, no matter the groups:

Error: ns_sendmail failed: Expected a 250 status line; got:
501 <notification-Re: test1 mailto:SubGroupTestOnly@mail.zedat.fu-berlin.de>>: "@" or "." expected after "notification-Re"^M

Randy: I do indeed remember the earlier post and am using that patch in sendmail.tcl, so the relevant lines there now read:

#      _ns_smtp_send $wfp "HELO AOLserver [ns_info hostname]" $timeout
#changed the above to the following
        _ns_smtp_send $wfp "HELO [ns_info hostname]" $timeout

It looks like the reply-to email constructed in notification::email::send is messed up. Maybe add some debug ns_logs in notification-email-procs.tcl to track down where it's getting this broken email address from. You could also check that this: 
select email from parties where email like '% %';
does not return anything.
