Re: [Evolution] Error while performing operation sendmail exited with status 64: mail not sent

[Chuck Amadi <chuck smtl co uk>]

Hi the user tried to send to my friend     without the hostname.

I don't want to sound spiritualist but I used the my firend     as an
example the jist of it is that there wasn't a hostname .

So from reading the tail -f /var/log/mail on the user's machine and
visiting her station and viewing the returned transcript . suggests it's
something to do with this issue as mail no sent.

Any suggestions

Cheers

Chuck
