[Tfug] 501 HELO requires valid address

Hi, everyone. Been using it for years, only now for the first time I want
an email client instead of webmail, and I'm realizing I don't know sh at t
about email.

I'm setting up Sylpheed with multiple accounts, and I got gmail set up,
but when I try setting up my other email, I get the error in the in the
subject. I don't know what this means. I've done some research, and
a while back when I first started to tinker with an email client and got
the same errors, I actually ended up at a tutorial that had me telnet
into some server somewhere, and send a message manually. While
that was interesting, it didn't help me solve the problem.

funny thing is that I've been able to make it work in thunderbird with
the same settings as far as I can tell.

I'm using the cox smtp server, and I have a domain for incoming mail.
I can retrieve mail from the from the pop3 server, but I can't send it.

Let me know what else you need. Thanks ~ Chris
