Linux

I guess that's where the problem lies within. There isn't any fields in the settings that I have seen to change that. I wonder if there is a config file I can edit it ....

i would say it is the "From" setting, as it occurs when he is sending mail. you set what is displayed in the "From" field of the emails you send. him being NOT able to send an email with an arbitrary "From" setting tells me that his smtp server has some mail relay protection. this is to prevent spammers from sending mail via their smtp server. sendming mail with smtp requires no authentification, so these safe gaurds are built in to stop people from "spoofing" the from address.

tux, look at where you set up your email accounts within evolution, in there somewhere where you tell it what smtp server to use, or an "accounts" setting, something like that, in one of those tere will be a space that says From: and you type in YOUR email address there.

This is tuxwarrior, sorry, didnt realize what I was logged in as on this machine, didn't even realize I had two identies on here.


hmm I don't see anywhere I can change this at all

here is another screenshot.












I never had this problem with previous verisons of ximian. What a shame its now such a pain in the arse.] [

This has been resolved.
I just deleted it, and created a new account, the weird tthe weird thing is, when an account is already created, there is no way to change the "from" address,, blah@blah.com it was set to josh@localhost.localdomain but you cannot change that anywhere, have to make sure you get it right from the setup I guess. in any case, its working, thanks for all your help ..!
