Re: [Evolution] Error sending mail after upgrading to 1.4.0

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

your symptoms are the same as a few other users who are suffering from a
bug in glibc 2.3.2 where the gethostbyaddr_r() function fulls the
hostname string with garbage (sometimes with \n's) and so when Evolution
sends the EHLO <hostname> command, it unknowingly sends a \n or 2 and
gets the client and server out of sync.

unfortunately we have no idea how to work around this glibc bug :-(
