This works for me:

In kmail, goto configure -> network -> sending (tab)

At the bottom
  x uncheck any check boxes.
  x make sure default send method is 'send now'
  x make sure message property is 'MIME Compliant...' 
  x make the default domain anthing you want.
    It doesn't matter for most configs.

In the 'Out Going Accounts' section, remove any and all accounts you might 
have.

Add 1 account -- this will be your default
Name: Put the name you'd like to see here.  Generally, make it the same as 
your server (see below).
Server: Put in your server name, e.g. smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 25

Many smtp servers now require authentication, others do not.  In the case of 
yahoo, they do.  If yours does, click on the 'Server requires authentication' 
check box and fill in your username and password.  Its also good to click on 
the 'Store SMTP Password in the configuration file' in this case.

You shouldn't have to worry about the security tab.  Just make sure encryption 
is set to none and authentication is set to plain.  This will work for most 
servers.

Thats it.  

hope that helps.

Mike
