Re: [Evolution] Changing Port 25 to Port 587

[John Maxwell <jmaxwell frii com>]

Phil & Kojak.t,
Using plain, TSL & SSL encryption, messages are received but no mail 
is sent, the window just sits there. Authentication is checked or not 
the results are the same. If I change the outgoing server from 
mail.XXX.com to smtp.mail.XXX.com it attempts to send the mail but 
has the following error message "Host lookup failed: 
smtp.mail.XXX.com: Name or service not known" and is the only error 
message I can get otherwise it sits there regardless of how long I 
wait (several minutes).

Thanks,

John
