Not always. At work, this is fine. At home, my SMTP server belongs to an ISP and their concept of default domain is not what I want. I filed a wishlist bug but someone replied that it was harder than it looked because addresses with no domain are just sent to the SMTP server. I think it could still be done fairly easily (if no "default domain" is set, just behave as now, otherwise use it). There is another solution: set up your own sendmail locally to do the right thing. Not realistic for Joe User. poc _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
