Yep, this is a mail server error, not an Evolution error.
I have a guess as to the problem, but requires me making a guess as to
your setup. Are you either A) running on an internal network with your
Linux box acting as the firewall/SMTP forwarder, and do not have your
private IP's/names listed in the allow config files for forwarding? Or B)
Using your ISP's mail server to send the Email, and not sending them from
a From: address that belongs in their domain (i.e., your FRom address is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] adn you're using mail.attbi.com for your outgoing mail
server)?
See if either of these conditions reflects your configuration - they can
affect a relaying bounce on your mailserver.
