Paul,
That was a very amusing exercise.... :-)
Here's the results of the "mylog.txt" file....
sending EHLO [10.10.10.14]^M
received 502
sending MAIL FROM: <dnrlinux(a)san.rr.com>^M
received 503 5.0.0 Polite people say HELO first
sending QUIT
OK, fine.... obviously my ISP SMTP server doesn't like EHLO and wants to see
HELO.
So, why does evolution report back?
Error while performing operation:
MAIL FROM response error: unknown
What's the purpose of an error message? To allow somebody to diagnose a
problem.
So how about something like:
Error while sending mail:
EHLO response error: 502
MAIL FROM response error: 503 5.0.0 Polite people say HELO first
The next question is, since EHLO failed, evolution should do one of two
things:
- try HELO
- or stop there... an error of 502 means there's not much point in
continuing.
Then my little test message remains in the outbox... I deleted it by
selecting it and pressing the delete key.
The item count in the outbox is now 2 (from my original message as well,
also deleted) and when I close evolution it warns me that I have unsent
items in the outbox.... there're problems in the delete code when removing
items from the outbox.

Don,
do this
1) edit your /etc/hosts and clean out the whitespaces and blanklines. If
that does not work. delete the comments.
HTH,
