Hmm, I can see something wrong here as well. I am running 4-S as of 8 September, 2001, and KDE2-2.1.1. Well, I seldom use Kmail. Out of curiosity, I sent a message to myself via Kmail and -- believe it or not -- whatever address I had specified, Kmail always tried to send my mail to freebsd-questionsFreeBSD.ORG@inwind.it [sic!]. That is, since that address doesn't exist, no mail was actually sent. I switched to other [bloatware] mail programs, with the following results: -- Staroffice works -- Netscape Messenger works -- mutt works Conclusion: I would say that sendmail is not guilty, and that Mr. Kmail seems to be hos^Wbroken. :-) ********************************* Followup *********************************** I rebooted into -CURRENT and tried Kmail-1.3 (KDE-2.2). Yet another surprise, I succeeded in sending a message to my own address (bartequi@neomedia.it). Apparently, I have no problems from my junk^Wworkstation. What version of Kmail are you running? I suspect your version of Kmail is broken. HTH, Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
