Hi!

Is it intentionally that KMail ( HEAD branch snapshot ) uses the From address 
of the "unknown" identity for the SMTP envelope sender address? This feature 
has problems with "protected" SMTP servers, which only allow their own 
customers to send mail. 

I have a dialup machine with sendmail installed. This sendmail forwards 
outgoing mail to different SMTP servers. Most of them only allow forwarding 
when the envelope sender address is matching their domain. (e.g. I have a SMS 
sending EMail address - it only accepts its own domain and only accepts 
direct connections)

I think I managed to bypass that by using the reply-to address as sender 
envelope. But this is a bit hacky. Do you plan to make the envelope sender 
configurable after KDE 2.0 (I think such changes are not allowed right now)

Greetings

Alexander Feigl
