 |
|
I've been running a few gentoo boxen in my home for several months now, and decided this last weekend to go ahead and make my main system a Gentoo box as well. I've had postfix setup on my server and haven't had a problem with it since I set it up, and Thunderbird (Bothin windows and linux) hasn't given me any kind of fit with recieving or sending mail.
The problem that I'm having is with Evolution not wanting to send mail through my server at all. When I try to send an email, the message stays in the local Outbux and an error window pops up:
| Code: | | Error while performing operation. RCPT TO <causticmind@gmail.com> failed: Command parameter not implemented. |
Well, that's not very informative. I then called evolution through the command
| Code: | | env CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 evolution |
and got some debug info from what it's doing when it gives me the error
| Code: | sending : EHLO xeno
received: 250-mail.causticminds.com
received: 250-PIPELINING
received: 250-SIZE 25000000
received: 250-ETRN
received: 250-STARTTLS
This server supports STARTTLS
received: 250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN NTLM
received: 250-AUTH=CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN NTLM

This server supports 8bit MIME
sending : MAIL FROM:<dave@causticminds.com>
received: 250 Ok
sending : RCPT TO:<causticmind@gmail.com>
received: 504 <xeno>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname
CamelException.setv(0xbf7ffa54, 2, 'RCPT TO <causticmind@gmail.com> failed: Command parameter not implemented')
sending : QUIT
received: 221 Bye |
Okay, that's fine. It's just wanting an FQDN. I put one inside of /etc/hosts on the server (xeno.causticminds.com), I set my hostname on the client to xeno.causticminds.com
| Code: | hostname xeno.causticminds.com
env-update |
And it still does the same, exact thing.
Can anybody tell me what's going on with this? This is the first problem I've had with anything related to Gentoo since I started running it earlier this year. Any information about this problem would be helpful. |

I'm experiencing mostly the same problem here:
| Code: | sending : EHLO 192.168.1.2
received: 550 I thought you were 66.141.82.69, not 192.168.1.2!
sending : HELO 192.168.1.2
received: 550 I thought you were 66.141.82.69, not 192.168.1.2!
sending : MAIL FROM:<email@address.com>
received: 503 Come on, please say hello first!

Note: I changed the ips
Looks like evolution is not sending the good stuff.. I tried sending on my ISPs smtp server using telnet:
or even
| Code: | | EHLO mystupidhostname |
and it passed.. So I guess evo is not detecting my hostname right.
Arch: amd64
I will report a bug. |

I just noticed that it's fixed in 2.0.3, i'll wait for an ebuild.. until then, I'll use the sendmail server type.
Release notes here
| Quote: | | #69109 - EHLO or HELO with ip addresses does not conform rfc 821 (Michael) |
So, it wasn't AMD64 specific after all.. probably that the failure in hostname lookup is related to amd64 though.. |

I'm just glad that it wasn't specific to me, as I was beginning to wonder. 
I'm on x86 and it's still failing to look mine up... I've just been using Thunderbird for all outgoing mail and it works just dandy. I hope this next version fixes my little problem, as well. |
