Re: [Evolution] Changing Port 25 to Port 587



Phil & Kojak.t,
Using plain, TSL & SSL encryption, messages are received but no mail is sent, the window just sits there. Authentication is checked or not the results are the same. If I change the outgoing server from mail.XXX.com to smtp.mail.XXX.com it attempts to send the mail but has the following error message "Host lookup failed: smtp.mail.XXX.com: Name or service not known" and is the only error message I can get otherwise it sits there regardless of how long I wait (several minutes).

Thanks,

John

My ISP (Verizon) changed the rules for sending email. They now require

the change on my 2 windows machines using Eudora 7 with ease but getting
Evolution to work has been a problem. It still received email but will
not send. I have changer the SMTP server name to include :587 at the end
but still no luck. I am running Ubuntu 8.1o on the desktop and 8.04 on
the netbook with the same results.


What error are you getting?

You most likely need to enable SMTP auth.
