Yes. Authentication uses STARTTLS

Seems to be random.

I was afraid you'd say that.  Our SA retired and we don't have a new one
yet.

Are you using a username & password to send through the SMTP server? 

Is there any consistent factor in when the error occurs?

I have plenty of people using CentOS6 without any issues.

Evolution 3.x needs the Gnome3 libraries - CentOS/SL/RHEL6 comes with
Gnome2.  You will need to recompile much of the Gnome infrastructure to
get the necessary libraries on your system.  It's not a 5 minute task
and I'm not sure it's even possible to get a functioning system without
root access.  RHEL6 doesn't have flatpack support so you can't even go
down that route.

I suspect your best bet is to ask if you can be upgraded to SL7 or
CentOS8

[Evolution] Evolution binaries for my own account in Linux

2020-02-11 Thread Van Snyder via evolution-list
I am using Scientific Linux 6.10.

I'm not allowed to have the root password for my computer, so I can't
install something newer.

In Scientific Linux 6.10, the version of Evolution is 2.32.3.

Sending a message using Evolution occasionally produces a message such
as

550 DMARC Sender Invalid - envelope rejected

or

550-5.7.26 Unauthenticated email from ... is not accepted
due to 550-5.7.26 domain's DMARC policy.

The people who manage the smtp server insist the problem is emanating
from my computer, not their server.  Sometimes the message mentions my
computer, not the institutional smtp server.  My "sending" tab in
Evolution settings specifies the institutional smtp server, not my
computer.

Is this problem known?  Does it depend upon a setting within my
computer?  Is it repaired in Evolution 3.34 (it doesn't happen if I send
the same message using Thunderbird)?

Can I get binaries to install Evolution 3.34 in /home/opt on my computer
(I'm allowed to own that directory)?  I downloaded sources and tried to
build it, but got another "You Idiot! You have an antique operating
system!" message:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (cmake_minimum_required):
  CMake 3.1 or higher is required.  You are running version
2.8.12.2

I tried to install cmake, but it wants a newer gettext than the
installed one,
