Hi,
what is your evolution version, please? The 3.12.4 contains a fix 
which fixes an issue similar to yours. It was usually fine to send the 
message the first time, but the next message, after certain delay, 
failed with the above mentioned error. [1]
Bye,

Hi Milan,

I'm on 3.10.4. Obtained through the repos that Mint use, so probably the
Ubuntu repos.  

I'll try an update/upgrade in a few minutes.

Thanks for the heads up :-)

Michelle.

Just did an update/upgrade. Still at 3.10.4. Looks like I'll have to
stay here until the repos catch up.

Thanks for the heads up, though. Now that I know there's an issue in
this ball park, I know to sit and wait.

Michelle.

Or you test, if building it yourself should work, or you try to find a
PPA providing the needed backport.

You can try to build it by one of the ways described below.

Backup your install, then

$ sudo -i
# apt-get source evolution-data-server
# apt-get build-dep evolution-data-server

Then replace the source with the source from upstream, IOW download and
extract it and change into the evolution-data-server dir.

# nano debian/changelog
# nano debian/rules

I don't remember what changes to do, but IIRC it's easy to notice. Use
what ever editor else you like.

# libtoolize --force --copy --automake
# aclocal
# autoreconf
# debuild -b -us -uc
# dpkg -i evolution-data-server*

Assumed building a package that way shouldn't work, try

# ./configure
# checkinstall --install=no
# dpkg -i evolution-data-server*

instead.

Then do the same with evolution. Don't forget to install the dev
packages for Evolution's dependencies first.

JFTR I didn't build for Ubuntu/Debian since a long time, it's easier for
Arch Linux, the distro I use most of the times.

That will be the next release of Ubuntu/Debian, unlikely that it will be
upgraded within one release. However, did you check official backports?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
http://backports.debian.org/

 # apt-get build-dep

Might or might not install all dependencies.

build-dep source_pkg
Causes apt-get to install/remove packages in an attempt to satisfy the
build dependencies for a source package. -

[Evolution] MAIL FROM timeout

2014-10-28 Thread Michelle
Hi Folks,

Sending e-mails (and auto flush of the outbox on filtered, forward
e-mails) are failing sometimes with errors like...

MAIL FROM command failed: TCP connection reset by peer

... and timeout reports. It takes a couple of resend attempts before
e-mails will go.

Any ideas where I can look to adjust timeout settings please?

Michelle.

Looks like a sysadmin problem. I suspect it is checking in dns
blacklists / doing SPF checks, and they are taking a long time. Perhaps
it is consulting an overloaded dns blacklist?

I agree that something like this is the likely cause. The email
administrator should probably bypass spam and virus checks for mail
being sent by authenticated users or those on internal trusted networks.

Unless there is a problem with infected machines trying to send spam and
viruses. In which case the admin needs to set up an email system just
for receiving internal mail and forwarding it to the scan systems.

Once the email server has a message it doesn't matter how long the
checks take because it can just keep trying to send it.
