What do you mean you made Sendmail your default? Todd I had used the ISP's mail servers but something broke in Linux. I could not set up K-mail or Evolution to link to the ISP's SMTP servers. I verified the problem was on my end by logging into Windows and using Outlook Express. After that, in a fit of desperation, I loaded up Sendmail, made it the default outgoing account in Kmail. That works. Has me stumped. I even tried uninstalling all KDE applications/core files and reinstalling. Same problem. This started when I deleted the .kde directory from my home directory. KDE was locking up on me. My son didn't have that problem when logging in as him, so I thought that something was broken in .kde. I also get a LOT of segfaults in Kmail when I change the settings for the servers. Any insights are much appreciated. Thanks, Linus Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Any insights are much appreciated. Thanks, Linus My advice is to ditch Kmail and use Sylpheed. Somebody else on the list will be better qualified to help with your KDE problems--that sounds like the place to start if you want to keep using Kmail. Your box can use sendmail to send mail, but tell me, if you are getting these mails, you must be able to connect to your ISP's server to retrieve your mail. So it's just sending that doesn't work? Off the top of my head, I'd verify that you've got the correct server for sending mail. Also, try it with requires authentication checked and then unchecked in your mail program.

Booted in Windows. Outlook Express sent fine. Dang. Rebooted Linux and set up Sendmail. Made that my default and it works. I don't know how since it doesn't use any of my ISP mail server info. SMTP still doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks, Linus ??? I'm assuming you're not running a mail server on Windows.
