evolution with nonauth-SMTP (mystify host lookup failure)
Hello
I decided to test evolution (SID-Version). It works pretty well with my
IMAP-Server. But it seems to have problem with simple sending mail over SMTP.
I entered an correct SMTP-Add into the Settings-Menu (together with my
IMAP-Account). I tried an own SMTP-Server (LAN) first and the official one of
my provider after the first one failed.
When I am trying to send an email, I get the following message:
"Error while performing operation:
Host lookup failed: "
I tested if both SMTP-Server are resolvable. It works, dig shows no problems
and it is no problem to send a mail via telnet.
After that I tried the evolution -debugmode. Unfortunately evolution doesnt
even mentioned the try to send this mail (Ok, he tells 'Error while
PERFORMING operation').
And on the other side, I have no problem with kmail. So, it seems to work.
My problem is, that I have no idea where to look for a configurationerror
anymore. This is such a common function, that I dont expect a bug there.
Any ideas?
ciao
Walde
