Bug#590329: redmine: issue with email notification

[Carl Chenet]

Package: redmine
Version: 0.9.5-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I use Redmine with exim4 for email notification. Exim4 is ok because I can send emails through the "mail" command.
when trying to send a test email from Redmine, I have this strange error message on the web page (nothing in the exim and Redmine logs) :
An error occurred while sending mail (501 Syntactically invalid HELO argument(s) )

I have a really simple email.yml :
production:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: "localhost"
port: 25

My destination email is simple: carl....@ohmytux.com
My emission email addresse is also simple: ro...@127.0.0.1

Bye,
Carl Chenet
