Guys, I originally started E-mailing with the Ximian team and figured to send it to you as well. I have attached the thread below. When I send E-mail from Evolution, it's not properly getting the hostname of my workstation and sending EHLO with localhost.localdomain. I think we need to examine the way Evolution tries to get the hostname and modify it so it works properly for FreeBSD. Thoughts? -Troy On Sun, 2005-03-06 at 21:16 -0600, Troy wrote: > Jeff, > > I'm not sure what functions you are using, but we need to modify those > functions accordingly.
