Is it possible that your mail from address is set to be nothing? And the smtp server wont send on the mail unless there is some thing set?

Could someone tell me whether Evolution is self-sufficient when sending mail, or does it rely on some other daemon to perform this function? I have this problem on a freshly installed Arch Linux system: Evolution will not send my mail (though it will receive OK), responding to all attempts with this message: error while performing operation: MAIL FROM response error: command unrecognized:"" because my understanding of just how mail really works is very hazy at best, I'm not sure where the problem might be - on Suse, Libranet and even Slackware Evolution always just worked, but this is Arch Linux - it won't do anything unless you tell it to :) So it could be I need to start some other process. Someone suggested Exim, so I started Exim but its logs didn't show any activity when Evo was trying to send. BTW, I'm sending this message from that same Arch system, using Kmail. It's only Evolution that's having problems... any suggestions? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
