Re: [Evolution] SMTP -> "RCPT TO response error: Illegal seek:"

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj helixcode com>]

I believe I fixed this a few weeks ago. If you're still experiencing the
problem then you're entering the address wrong. For example:

Doe, John <john doe com>

That's an illegal address, the correct way to enter this would be:

"Doe, John" <john doe com>

In the first case it will try sending an email to "Doe" and "John
<john doe com>" and since "Doe" doesn't have a valid email address it
will have non-desirable effects.

Try that and see if the problem persists.
