------- I have been able to send messages at last.
My problem was that KMail doesn't detect well what is the authentication method of \
some of my smtp servers (fault of kmail or the servers?). It says the authentication \
method is PLAIN. But not, is LOGIN. 

I have discovered this because i have changed recently to KDE 3.4.2, and when i try \
again to send mails, KMail 1.8.2 informs me that my server doesn't suppor PLAIN \
method (old versions of KMail didn't say nothing of that).

In Mandrake 10.1 and 10.2 (Mandriva LE2005) the cyrus-sasl library for LOGIN method \
is not installed by default. By the way, that library informs that is deprecated and \
has not to be used. After install it, sending mails with the failing servers, works \
again.

So i think we have two problems here:
1) KMail not being able to detect correctly the authentication method
2) GNU/Linux distributions not installing by default the cyrus-sasl lybraries needed \
(in Mandriva only installs by default the PLAIN cyrus-sasl library) \
