obviously. however, evolution afaik does not allow a user to queue a message without recipients in the first place, so it would never get to the SMTP code. > > Is he stupid? Is he sending all his mail to nobody? I'm guessing that he has specified recipients, if he hasn't... well, duh. but as I stated above, I am pretty sure it's not possible to do in Evolution. > > Wake up, Jeffrey. you're usually one of the best, but too much on the > defensive, lately. Perhaps pressure of work. nah, I know exactly what I'm saying. There was a report a while back that had the same symtoms but was caused by Evolution re-issuing a EHLO command just after the SASL authentication sequence. Somehow the server got into a weird state and accepted the RCPT TO: command but when we tried to send DATA, it flopped. Jeff -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Ximian, Inc.
