GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 211096
address validity checking seems to neither consult ldap nor smtp
Last modified: 2001-10-04 15:54:53 UTC
Description of Problem: Enhanced address validity checking no longer accepts simple username. I must now enter a full address, username@localdomain. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. "New message" 2. To: <specify e-mail address of local user, without the local domain.> 3. "Send" Actual Results: A Warning message box pops up "This message contains invalid recipients:" Expected Results: If the message were sent, my SMTP server would know that this user exists in its domain. At least, this is how it worked with evolution 0.12. How often does this happen? Always, since upgarding to 0.14 Additional Information: I have been trying to figure out how Trow's address validation might be occurring. It seems that there are only three options, LDAP, NIS or SMTP. Since I don't share an nis domain with the rest of my organization, this approach would definitely fail. I have attempted to tell the Evolution Contacts application about my companies LDAP, but I have no evidence that I have done this correctly. SMTP would definitely know the usernames in question, so it does not appear that SMTP is being consulted about address validity.
