Changing Port 25 to Port 587My ISP (Verizon) changed the rules for sending email. They now require
using port 587 to send email instead of the default port 25. I have made the change on my 2 windows machines using Eudora 7 with ease but getting Evolution to work has been a problem. It still received email but will not send. I have changer the SMTP server name to include :587 at the end but still no luck. I am running Ubuntu 8.1o on the desktop and 8.04 on the netbook with the same results. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

(smtp.live.com:587) But I do also use TLS instead SSL encryption to make it work. You might want to try that. At first when I tried using SSL it didn't work. Switching to TLS made it work. Good luck _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

Re: Changing Port 25 to Port 587Phil & 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).

That makes sense; there probably is no "smtp.mail.XXX.com"; have you tried just "smtp.XXX.com"? Or looking up what the setting should be. The port syntax XXX.YYY.ZZZ:### does work. Our shop runs SMTP on TCP/21212 and specifying smtp.USUSUS.com:21212 works in evolution. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

Re: Changing Port 25 to Port 587Adam,
I have tried all of those variations including mail.XXX.com:587, smtp.XXX.com:587 and restarting the machine between changes, unfortunately they have not worked. Originally mail.XXX.com worked for years before Verizon made the changes Monday. My email server is at my old ISP that we have used for years. A call to them revealed that mail.XXX.com is the proper syntax and if the email client needs port 587 then it resides with the client and the host isp. On the windows side Eudora 7 and outlook express made the conversion fine but if tried thunderbird and it exhibits the same problem. An interesting problem.

Please run Evo from a terminal as follows: env CAMEL_DEBUG=all evolution >& evo.log Then try to send an email; it should fail. Quit Evo, so that the log will not get larger, and now look at the log. The error should be there. Cheers, _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

top versus bottom posting and the "control-L" functionAll this discussion of top versus bottom posting got me thinking. If
there's ALREADY a function in evolution specifically for replying to mailing lists, couldn't we add configurations where you set: For regular reply or reply-to-all: {Use top posting / Use bottom posting} For reply-to-mailing lists (ie: control-L): {use top posting / use bottom posting} Just a thought. :) - Benjamin May Sr. Research Analyst +(212) 851-4772 maybe@... _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

Its much easier to top post to non-mailing list clients. You need to realize, most people are not computer savy and don't care about the "netiquette" as much as Linux users do. I wont bottom post to a client or anyone that's not on an email list. They get confused and it makes more work for me to try and explain it. 90% of all users I email use top post except for mailing lists. > > Just a thought. :) > > Really a thought? :-) > > matthias > -- > Matthias Apitz > «...una sola vez, que es cuanto basta si se trata de verdades > definitivas.» > «...only once, which is enough if it has todo with definite truth.» > José Saramago, Historia del Cerca de Lisboa > _______________________________________________ > Evolution-list mailing list > Evolution-list@... > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list > > __________ NOD32 4527 (20091020) Information __________ > > This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. > http://www.eset.com > > _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

You are right in one statement: It's more easier to top post (with browser-like MUA, like OutLook, Evo or any webmail in a real browser). The problem is that these MUA are buggy or wrong coded. A good MUA (good in the sense of following standards and netiquette) would: 1. include correctly marked the text (like your text above) 2. add the signature correctly started with "-- ", note the blank, (like mine below) 3. put the write mark (cursor) between the included text and the signature) OutLook, for example, put the write mark on top of all, people start to key-in and don't care about where they type. In addition they are to clueless/careless/lazy to remove included text, because they would have to mark this painfull with the mouse. All this would not happen if you use a realy good MUA (like 'mutt') and a good text editor (like 'vim'), as I do. In addition: if you don't explain the clueless what they are doing wrong, the world would not improve. matthias -- Matthias Apitz «...una sola vez, que es cuanto basta si se trata de verdades definitivas.» «...only once, which is enough if it has todo with definite truth.» José Saramago, Historia del Cerca de Lisboa _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

And most of the time you can even make it readable to Outlook users with judicious trimming. -- Art Alexion Resources for Human Development, Inc. 215-951-0300 x3075 4700 Wissahickon Ave. art@...
