Yeah, if you're going to change the behavior away from "accept everything", please change it to "bounce with explanation". When I first started using evolution, I signed up with one address and sent mail from another. One of those mails was "How should I best send you money?" And the other was about how I could contribute an importer for Eudora, since I needed to import a lot of Eudora mail. Y'all just threw away my emails without comment. When I figured out what the issue was a week or two later, the wind had already gone out of my sails. > As long as Evolution doesn't allow users to specify which account to > associate with a specific folder or addressee, imperfect people like me > are going to occasionally forget to set the From address properly before > sending a message This is a feature I would really, really like. I use a different address for every list I'm on and every vendor I deal with, using the qmail/postfix feature where "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" gets delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is great for automatic filing, tracking who sells my email, and blocking addresses that end up with spammers. But as yet, Evolution doesn't support that at all, so some sort of box for variable local-part suffix would be awesome!
