YAY! I've kind of got this solved and don't have to send from Hotmail
anymore :-)))
I was able to resolve this issue by downloading and installing
Thunderbird to use instead of Evolution. As soon as I fired off an
email there were NONE of the delivery problems that I had with Evo.
Weird. That exercise proves that my original problem was just with Evo.
Anyone else had problems with the latest version of it that came with
the K12LTSP 4.2.0 isos?
I guess I'll go through the exercise of migrating all my old mailboxes
to Thunderbird. Like I needed the extra work. I guess I was also
dismayed about Evo being picked up by Novell as a paid product anyway :-(
