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) ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Dec 26 19:51:48 2007 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/evolution NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: evolution 2.12.1-0ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcCmdline: evolution ProcCwd: /home/rossa ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SourcePackage: evolution Uname: Linux netjer 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug -- Stupid error message when sending a email that the server rejects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178773 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
