Re: [Evolution] Error while performing operation sendmail exited with status 64: mail not sent

[Chuck Amadi <chuck smtl co uk>]

I know thru tail -f /var/log/mail etc etc It stated hostname issue .

Thus I deleted the email message as it's was trying to re-send to the
mis-typed email address .

It's fixed I wouldn't say it was a bug but why retry to send the msg as
other email msg where getting thru and being recieved thus that error
prompt.

I have made the notes for my install and support Evolution So I don't
think this is going to cause my late nights gooogling and viewing the
mailing list archives.

Cheers

Chuck
