gunner I had the same problem. I could send my mail out w/other mail clients but kmail gave me the same error message as you. I'm a "beginning novice" and I just play around w/settings to find out what works, so I loaded both settings for Kmail and, say, Netscape. I compared the two to see what might be different and heres what I did: In Kmail, I went to the menu bar and clicked on "Settings." From there I clicked on the icon in the left vertical panel labeled "Network." Now, a configuration box comes up that has two tabs at the top. One is labeled "Sending Mail" and the other is "Properties." Under "Sending Mail," I noticed two radio buttons, one for "sendmail and a text box labeled "Location." This radio button was checked! The other radio button was labeled "SMTP" and had two text box 's labeled "Server" and "Port." (This radio button was NOT checked!) I checked this radio button and entered into the "Server" text box my mail server address, ie: [mail.mindspring.com] w/out the brackets. I left the "Port" text box alone, for it had "25" entered in it an I didn't see fit to change it! I clicked on "Apply" when I was done. I DID NOT GO BACK AND CHECK THE "SENDMAIL" RADIO BUTTON AFTERWARDS. I LEFT IT CHECKED ON "SMTP." I went back to Kmail and sent a piece of mail. I briefly noticed a pop-up window with sending information and bang...it was sent! As a matter of fact, all the email I tried to send before went out as well. I ended up w/three copies sent to this list just because I tried to send them before three different times. :) Anyway, I'm no one to give advice since I'm here to learn myself but, I am familiar w/what your describing and I hopr this works for you as easy as it did for me.
