Re: [Evolution] Why is evo fubaring smtp connections with a newline?



the EHLO argument has nothing to do with any settings in Evolution, it is simply the value that gets returned via gethostbyaddr_r() on the address returned via getsockaddr().

The newline, too, comes from gethostbyaddr_r() (hostent->h_name contains the '\n') which is a bug in glibc.

the workaround which has been mentioned on this list hundreds of times and is also in the FAQ is to remove all empty lines and all comments from /etc/hosts

we also hacked in a work-around for this problem in the upcoming 1.4.6 (that I *think* works, but I have no real way of testing since I was never able to reproduce this)

There are two HUGE errors here.

First, why is Evo sening "EHLO smtp.plansys.com"  that is for a
different account!

And why is it sending it a new line right after?

BTW I removed smtp.plansys.com from the settings from the other account,
and it seems to be saved in the outbound mail!  The above log is after I
removed and grep for smtp.plansys.com in the settings directories.

The blank line causes postfix to send the 500 message.

This has been real consistent of late and therefore painful during
travel.
