RE: [Evolution] Problems sending smtp mail in Evo 1.4.5 and 1.5.0


Ugh that shouldn't ever have a null there.  Thats a bug somewher.e

But you need to set your hostname properly anyway, in redhat thats in:

[notzed lostzed notzed]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=lostzed.mmc.com.au
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

and then resart, or do 'hostname foo.bar.baz' as root.

Thanks for the info.

I managed to make the SSL problem go away by removing everything from my
/etc/hosts file as suggested in one of the posts on this list.

However, now when I send messages, the message ID field is as follows:

Message-Id: <1083807608.2430.0.camel@(null)>


Where does this value of (null) come from and I guess how can I change
it? Some of my mail gets returned to me by the mail servers of the
recepients with error message (reason: 553 5.0.0 Message-Id header line
format error)

Thanks guys!
Rade
