There's an option in KMail to set your own email address, which
normally works (I've actually sending from an NTL cable modem
account, but I have KMail set up give my address as my demon one).
This might only work if you're sending direct to an SMTP server
from KMail.


This can also be done with sendmail, since I've done it before.
The answer is to put something into /etc/sendmail.cf.  This is
one of the least readable configuration files ever.

I'm guessing now...
My sendmail.cf has the following lines in it:

# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM

Changing this last line to 

Dj$w.gmx.de 

might work. I may have worked on a sendmail help desk for a week,
but we had nice graphical config tools to play with :-)

There's bound to be someone else who has a better clue than me,
however (I did this fix ~2 years ago, and my memory is bad).


It's probably easiest to configure KMail to talk SMTP rather
than use sendmail (which is what it's doing now, I guess).
