Hi All, I've recently switched over to OptusNet and have had some problems sending mail from evolution.
I've setup delivery so that it goes through my local exim4 mailer (as was recommended by someone on this list), but if I do things like reply to certain people (I don't know what the pattern is) or if I accept an invitation to a meeting that someone sends me, when I click "Send and Receive" the dialog sits there sending until I hit cancel. Now I believe (from research so far) that this is because OptusNet doesn't have any authorisation set on their SMTP server mail.optusnet.com.au. Why does this make evolution stop in it's tracks when sending ? I'm sending to the local machine now... Is there some way I can get exim to rewrite the header or get evolution configured so it doesn't try to authorise me (which causes the problem) ? Just one email causing this problem will foul up the whole outbox. The only way to get the mails resent is to open them up, make them drafts and resend them. This seems to clear whatever the problem is and they get sent. Weird.... It's very annoying.
