Re: [Evolution] Error when sending mail to some addresses

[Neil Weisenfeld <weisen+evolution ai mit edu>]

I had this problem, also.  In general, it doesn't *sound* like an
Evolution bug, but rather an error with the machine you're communicating
to.  Debugging the mail connection, however I noticed something odd: the
actual error was "Relaying denied", no the "mailbox unavailable" that
was reported.  The latter makes it sound like a transient error when the
former makes perfect sense and means that I have to change how I use
remote mail.  The bug seems to be simply that the error reported isn't
correct.

Maybe turning on debugging would help?  There's an FAQ question on it,
but e-mail me if you can't find it.


Regards,
Neil
