Re: [Evolution] RCPT TO response error.

[Arne Sagnes <ASagnes Tickets com>]

Jeffrey, 
  I came across something interesting regarding the problem we discussed
last week.  If I attempt to send out this exact message using SMTP, I
receive the error I previously described.  However, if I change the
transport to Sendmail, this message goes out just fine.
  Evolution behaves this way on my laptop with the latest snapshots
(no preview releases) with Red Hat 7.0.  I do not have these problems
on my other computer, where I run Red Hat 6.2.  I realize that suggests
quite a few differences in configurations, but perhaps this will help
you guys determine what's going on.  Also, the mail server is running
Microsoft Exchange.  Thanks.

Arne

Be careful of reading health books, you might die of a misprint.
