Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Evolution, after a while, maybe timed out, gives me this error message:
"Welcome response error: Operation now in progress" and never sends the
email. Of course this messages don't gives to the user a useful
information.

After investigating, doing a telnet session I found that the problem is
that the server is rejecting the email because a RBL rule:

$ telnet mail.somedomain.com 25
Trying <SERVER_IP>...
Connected to mail.somedomain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
HELO somedomain.com
rblsmtpd: <YOUR_IP> pid 2499: 451 http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=<YOUR_IP>
220 rblsmtpd.local
250 rblsmtpd.local

Evolution should be able to give to the user a better error message because:
- the message that is giving now is idiot
- we must identify the problem to be able to correct the problem
- almost all email servers have RBL rules enabled (or some other rejecting by 
ip policies)
