Thank Guenther it worked!

For the record, problem solved.
Edit /etc/host and delete everything that is not basic
for the proper work of the system, delete comments,
blank unused espaces and be really carefull to put
only one tab between items.
Then this thing work, I'm really happy cuz 1.4.0 look
better and have more functionality (also more bugs but
it's normal =) ).
Thanks to Jeffrey and Guenther again.

Fernando.

yea, I just submitted a FAQ request to the support
guys, hopefully
they'll be adding it to the support site soon.

btw, when I said we didn't really know how to work
around it, I meant
from an evo source code point-of-view. I don't think
we can really ask
every user to uncomment their /etc/hosts files :-(

actually, not even 100% sure that works in all cases
yet anyway. but
from the few people who have gotten back to me, it
does seem to work.

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 :-(

Jeff, about a week ago you posted a possible
workaround, that at least
seemed to play more nice with buggy glibc:

Remove all unnecessary chars from /etc/hosts --
that means any comments,
blank lines and additional spaces.

Fernando: I dunno if that will solve your problem,
but it will be worth
a try.

As this bug seems to be related to /etc/hosts (do
you actually use this
local file for resolving SMTP server?) you can try
removing this local
line and instead use a DNS server.
