Subject: Bug#1861: kmail can't send messages
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-bugs-dist&m=93611226008950


Package: kmail
Version: 1.0.21

When trying to send messages I get a pop up box titled "kmail warning"
	Sending failed:
	`e/y?
Acutally the part after "Sending failed" is usually a collection a random
glyphs that change each time I try to send a message.  Also a small
message box titled KMail appears with text "Sending message: Re: re-trying
after "not found".

This problem started after I accidentally replied to someone with the
subject line "hello" in the cc field.  The subject line of the message I
was responding too was called "re-trying after "not found"".  As there are
no users called hello on my computer the message naturally bounced back at
me.  Since then I have not been able to email anyone using kmail but I can
still receive messages using kmail (however pine and plain old mail at the
command line still works.)  It seems as though this "re-trying .. not
found" message is somehow "preventing" new messages from being sent. If I
select "Send Queued" under the File menu I get the same Sending Failed
messages but with no glyphs. Also the "KMail" pop-up comes up with a
message that it's trying to send the "re-trying ... not found" message.

I'm on a pentium II 400 using Caldera 2.2 dist.  Hope this is descriptive
enough. Let me know if there are other tests I can run.

Thanks
