Please file this upstream: http://bugzilla.ximian.com Sorry, I cannot. Ximian bugzilla does not let me log in -- a login attempt appears successful, but then an immediately subsequent attempt to _do_ anything fails, and prompts me to log in again... ad infinitum. In response to the second part of the bug, it sounds like what you really what is a "Show Details" button than shows the exact error from the server (aimed at techies), and for the main error message to say something more user-friendly (aimed at non-techies) - "Requested action not taken" isn't a great error message. However I'm not sure exactly what the wording should be here, and if enough information is available to choose a good error message without major retooling, alas. I don't think we should display a made-up error message by default, and display the actual error only if the user presses a 'Details' button. Display nothing but "Sending mail failed", with a 'Details' button if you really must -- but don't give a bogus error message. Not that I like the Evo's made-up error message but the reason why it's so misleading is because the server reports error only after the RCPT TO: not immediately. Created attachment 113495 [details]
patch to validate HELO args and fall back to bare IP address if necessary
Fixing summary. The misleading error message is filed separately as bug #165271. Patch added to evolution-data-server-1.5.4-2 |
