Sorry, forgot to mention that I was
able to ping the smtp server without any packet loss and good response
time. Not sure if that is significant or not.
Will try the camel debug later and post
what comes up.
Thanks,
Robert

Re: [Evolution] SMTP problem
try doing the following:
CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 evolution-1.4 2> camel.log
this will give an SMTP log to see what is happening.
you could also try to `telnet smtp.server.com 25` and see if that works
or not.

I am using Mandrake 10 with the 2.6.3-4 kernel with a wireless card and
have not been able to send any messages. I think the Evo version
is 1.4.6. I have double checked with my ISPs tech support that the
smtp server name, my account name and password are all spelled correctly,
as well as no SSL is checked. I have my DSL modem in DMZ mode so
smtp and pop ports are open. I have checked the /etc/hosts for the
infamous blank line(?) problem, and there is only one line in my hosts
file and there are no blank lines above the one entry, which says something
like 127.x.x.x localhost. What else should be in that file?
Could the entry here be incorrect?
Whenever I try to send, POP retrieves mail perfectly, but hangs on the
send. If I let it go to timeout I get an error message that says
something like "I couldn't send", and I get the same message
if I just cancel the send before it times out. I have no problem
getting to the internet, but just sending mail. I have no other issue
with Evo functionality at all.
Previously when using a wired ethernet card to my DSL modem I had no problem
with the same account settings.
Could there be some gconf setting preventing me (evo) from using the port
25?
