mail POST to mailing list fails

[a-tal]

using recipient_type mailing_list does not send to the mailing list id, and results in a timeout

It also happens with corporation and alliance

Taking a look on the monolith side. Figure it might be exception class UserError being raised by the mail service and not going anywhere because the actions probably do not really handle user errors as exceptions.

Sent a mail to a valid mailing list, it appeared in my sent box; however, the "To" list was empty.

Here was the request:

{"body": "Test", "subject": "Testing", "recipients": [{"recipient_id": 145174015, "recipient_type": "mailing_list"}]}

And here was the response headers:

{
  "date": "Thu, 24 Nov 2016 18:50:24 GMT",
  "via": "1.1 google",
  "alt-svc": "clear",
  "server": "nginx",
  "access-control-allow-origin": "*",

  "access-control-allow-methods": "GET,POST,DELETE,PUT,PATCH,OPTIONS",

  "access-control-allow-credentials": "true",
  "access-control-allow-headers": "Content-Type,Authorization",

}

The fix to this should be going out tomorrow. It's exactly the issue that @GunfighterJ is describing so i'm hopeful.

Looks like everyone forgot about this but some quick testing suggests that the fix went out and was successful, so I'm closing this ticket. If this is not the case just reopen it and let me know.
