In that case, Evo should work on port 587. I presume you have the
sending options set with the port number, and that you aren't using SSL
or other authenticated send (which would have to be set up on the server
side of course).

What exactly happens when you try to send? Does Evo give any messages?

Note that you can enable verbose logging of Evo's actions by running it
from the Shell. First shutdown Evo ("evolution --force-shutdown") and
then run:

CAMEL_VERBOSE=1 evolution 1>camel.log 2>&1

will capture all logging info in camel.log. You can then see the details
for what happens when it tries to send.
