I am not sure what it should be but my internal server name is alderan.rtccom.com. This suddenly occurred out of nowhere. The only thing I did differently was try to run GnomeMeeting this morning. After I tried to initialize GnomeMeeting, another strange thing occurred: Xscreensaver would only accept two characters in the password field to unlock my screen. Well, I rebooted to make sure that GnomeMeeting didn't screw up my environment somehow and Evolution still does this. Oh, after I rebooted, Xscreensaver is working normally again. I am not sure where to even start looking to resolve this issue. I am running Evolution 1.4.5 with Connector 1.4.5 on Redhat Linux 9. any ideas on this would be most appreciated! Thanks! -- Todd Hammer <thammer rtccom com>Although I haven't much of an idea where to start, knowing what distribution might help someone? Have you tried with a different user, to find out if something in the Evolution configuration has been confused? -- Tom WesleyI am running Red Hat Linux 9 with XD2. I am the only linux user in my office so it's not possible to look at anyone else's config or see if it failing. I know that I can send mail manually through port 25 of the same server and that other Outlook users are getting their mail just fine. I will, however, create another user on my system and attempt to sendmail with Evolution using that account. -- Todd Hammer <thammer rtccom com>
Sorry to have accidentally taken this offlist btw, really must stop myself doing that... Move your evolution folder in your home folder to something different and see if evo can send then? -- Tom Wesley
