Binary package hint: evolution

This might be an interesting clue for the developers of Evolution.

I had been using AT&T/Yahoo! with SSL connections (using the default
port 465 for SMTP and 995 for POP) for  about a year with no problem.  I
was/am using my sbcglobal.net e-mail address as my username, but in both
Evolution and Outlook 2003, I used my college alumni e-mail address as
my "Email Address" in the "Required Information" section of the "Account
Editor", "Identity" tab.

Recently both Evolution and Microsoft Outlook 2003 (running on Windows
XP) developed a problem that required attempting multiple times to send
e-mails before they were finally transmitted.  The SMTP server sent back
an error indicating that the from e-mail address had not been verified,
and to go to
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html
for directions on what to do to fix the problem.  I followed the
described procedure, and Outlook works flawlessley, but Evolution
continued to have problems.

The solution with Evolution was to enter into the "Reply-To" email
address in the "Optional Information" the same e-mail address as the
"E-Mail Address", i.e., my college alumni account.  However, now every
e-mail I send contains "Reply-To" e-mail information in the header that
is duplicative of the "From" e-mail address.  Outlook did not require
that I define a "Reply-To" address, and there is no "Reply-To"
information in the e-mails it sends.

My question is whether Evolution's SMTP client is not sending something
that it should be sending.

Hope this helps.
