Description Giovanni Venturi 2005-01-28 13:34:35 UTC
Version:           1.7.2 (using KDE 3.3.2, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.10

I've got:

Unknown error code: 50. Your server does not support sending of 8-bit messages.
Please use base64 or quoted-printable encoding.
Please send a detailed bug report to http://bugs.kde.org.

After I compiled CVS 3_3_BRANCH today 28th Jan 2005 sending a PDF file attached. This error doesn't occurred with KDE 3.3.2. Can you fix it? I need to send some important email.

KMail tell me:

Sending failed:
Unknown error code 50
Your server does not support sending of 8-bit messages.
Please use base64 or quoted-printable encoding.
Please send a full bug report at http://bugs.kde.org.
The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder.

I debuged the server SMTP by a telnet session and a ethereal sniffing and I discovered that maybe KMail gets confused buy SMTP server reply.
The telnet session gives:

Connected to mail.server.it.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 venus.server.it ESMTP
ehlo
502

but If I try "helo" SMTP command it's ok.
I discovered that KMail uses "ehlo" than gets 502 reply and put that error I reported. Maybe KMail uses "ehlo" SMTP command because it discovers a ESMTP ? I think that after the 502 error KMail should close sesssion and retry with "helo" SMTP command and remember that the SMTP server uses "helo" and not "ehlo".
This bug is still in CVS HEAD? I cannot check it from here because I haven't got a KDE devel computer installed (at office). I could try to put a patch to the mailing list If I understand where is that code but no promise.
