Re: [Evolution] HELO respose error: (again)

With evolution 1.0.8, whenever I try to send an email, I get the
following message: 
 
Error while 'Sending "Test"': 
HELO response error: Command not implemented
 
I upgraded to the latest snapshot (21/08/2002),and got the same. I then
upgraded to the latest devel snapshot, and got the same (but slightly
differently worded ) message:

EHLO Dave!

Firstly, I can tell you that the mail server (MTA) you're sending to is
Exim MTA (i.e. not Sendmail, not Qmail, not Postfix, not MS Exchange
etc. etc.) and Exim's my speciality.

Secondly this has nothing to do with Evo, all to do with Exim.

Thirdly, you're sending EHLO instead of HELO and the Exim binary that
your MTA uses isn't compiled/configured for it.

Fourthly Exim doesn't normally take any notice of wrongly formulated
HELOs (mine s*dd*ng well do), even though you're sending it what is in
fact a wrongly formulated (syntactically *incorrect*) EHLO, which mine
would discard, and refuse to accept the message (anti spam, anti virus,
anti relay etc.).

Fifthly, as you can see, your mail is accepted and queued anyway.

Sixthly, you should ignore the whole thing until your Opaltelecom people
have learned to configure their Exim mailserver correctly (show them
this. They should learn to configure DNS too, so that you can use a
fully qualified hostname on your internal network :)

Best,

Tony

HELO response error: Command not implented

The output of the debug from Camel for the conection is:-

Any thoughts? The mail server works fine with other clients

The usefulness of RTFM is vastly overrated.
