Re: [Evolution] Evolution Windows build (evolution-2.22.1.1-1531.msi) - Problem with EHELO/HELO command not conforming to RFC

[Thomas Hirsch <thirsch benelog com>]

Hi,
Really nobody out there having same problem and/or any suggestions?

some more tests showed, that it seems to be dependant of the SMTP server
i want to connect to (some others working well, but unfortunately I have
to use the one causing this error....)

The smtp server which i have to connect to and which throws me "HELO
command not conforming to RFC" error is "smtpmail.t-online.de". Perhaps
anybody out there can recheck on this?

Many thanks in advance
Thomas
