Ximian Evolution e-mail client help


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I am having problems sending mail with Ximian Evolution e-mail client.

I can receive mail with it fine but when i try to send mail i get the error "DATA response error: User not local; please try <forward-path>".

My settings are: Server Type: SMTP.

Host: mail.valuehost.com. I dont have "Server required authentication" clicked. But when i do and enter my details i still get the same error.

So, any ideas?

My idea: Try telnet!

Open a shell, and do the following (putting in your data). I will show a full sample of my interaction, so you can see what expected server responses will be.

[mark@localhost mark]$ telnet smtp.server.net 25

Trying 209.225.8.224...

Connected to smtp.server.net.

Escape character is '^]'.

220  ESMTP

HELO markjensen

250 mxsf04.cluster1.server.net Hello [22.111.55.33], pleased to meet you

MAIL FROM: markjensen@server.net

250 2.1.0 markjensen@server.net... Sender ok

RCPT TO: markjensen@server.net

250 2.1.5 markjensen@server.net... Recipient ok

DATA

354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself

Hello

250 2.0.0 i2KHZJmf034216 Message accepted for delivery

[mark@localhost mark]$

If that works, then your problem is in how you set up Ximian Evolution.

If it doesn't then the problem is in what the server is expecting versus what you send.

I done this, but when it sent the message, it didnt say who the email was from, or who it came from, or new message, even though i had inserted all the info.

I sent it to a few email addresses and same thing happened.

Ok...

At what point did your session differ from mine? (as far as the "ok" messages from the server)

Everything is the same. It doesn't give the exact same replies but they are all more or less the same.

Well, if it said "message accepted", then the server has it.

From there, I would think that (if you did everything right) there is a server issue...
