ximian evolution

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

Others have answered this specifically to evolution, but if you are
using your local MTA (Sendmail or Postfix), you need to make some config
changes to them. AOL is not the only provider. 
I use sendmail, and here is the the way I do it:
become root
cd /etc/mail

edit mailertable and add something like:
# send all email for a special host to another host or to a specific IP:
#host.sub.org		smtp:host.domain.com
#host.sub.org		smtp:[192.168.0.1]
.aol.com		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
aol.com		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
cs.com		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
rr.com		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
.rr.com		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
comcast.net		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
.comcast.net		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
attbi.com		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
.attbi.com		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
netscape.net		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
.netscape.net		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
theworld.com		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
world.std..com		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
wmconnect.com	smtp:smtp.comcast.net
good-day.net		smtp:smtp.comcast.net
.good-day.net		smtp:smtp.comcast.net

make mailertable.db
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart

Postfix is a bit different, but has the same facility.
