Description nos 2004-02-16 14:49:16 UTC 
Description of Problem:
Tried to send a mail through our Exchange 2000
server, it declines the EHLO request, but
Evolution doesn't bother and tries to go on anyway.

The messages sent are(without the []'s ofcourse..):
[server]220 utelsystems.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL
Service, Version: 6.0.3790.0 ready at  Mon, 16 Feb
2004 15:28:40 +0100 
[evolution]EHLO 9d3:1:260:97ff:fe54:d947
[server]501 5.5.4 Invalid Address
[evolution]MAIL FROM:<nos@utel.no>
[server]503 5.5.2 Send hello first
[evolution]QUIT
[server]221 2.0.0 utelsystems.com Service closing
transmission channel

Evo gives a dialog saying
MAIL FROM response error: Unknown

It'd probably be better if evolution did more
appropriate things on an error in response to
HELO/EHLO.

I'm using Evolution 1.4.5 on RH8/Ximian Desktop 2
Comment 1 Gerardo Marin 2004-02-17 18:47:15 UTC 
note that your server is technically broken in that it advertises
ESMTP in the greeting.
Fixed in 1.4.6
