Subject:    Bug#32971: sending through SMTP server fails

I am experiencing the same SMTP failure problem. This message is being
sent using Netscape mail, which sends just fine; Kmail receives without
a hitch, but sending via SMTP fails, saying that the SMTP server cannot
be found. It worked fine before I upgraded to KM 1.3.1.

It is obviously not the firewall's fault, since Netscape gets through,
though I checked that anyway; I've double, triple, and quadruple-checked
the SMTP server name, retyping it and the port ("25") in the Kmail
configuration dialog several times.

I'm running Mandrake 8.1 with version 2.2.1-8mdk of all the kdebase
RPM's, but this has been happening since at least 2.2.1-5.

I'd rather not move to a different email client, but I may have to soon;
I have 3 email accounts to manage so Netscape won't do, but if I can't
send mail then Kmail won't do either. Once or twice a week a message
will go out. That is just not good enough.

Thanks
Jay DeKing
