in the "Sending mail" page of the account configuration, Evolution lets you
choose, among the other, also "Sendmail" as MTA for sending your mail. But on
Ubuntu sendmail is not installed by default, instead we have postfix (which
should also be better?). So someone may think he can send e-mail without need of
a SMTP server, but this won't work.
