By the sound of it, you have not. You need to configure a local DNS server (can be running on localhost if you like), that is authoritative for the domain that contains the hostname your machine has. blue skies...

Sendmail as a local delivery agent or internet mail or both? Sendmail will have a noticeable delay if it has trouble with a hostname lookup. Mine's sort of broken as I'm forcing my hostname to mandrakesoft.com on the RS6000, for rpm building, but that's not the machine/network's real name. If you're using kmail strictly for internet mail, can't it post mail directly to your ISP's smtp server? (Sorry I don't really use kmail, so I'm not sure of it's capabilities). Unless you're using sendmail to do some masquerading or something, you may be adding an extra layer of complexity in there that's not needed. I know I've piped mail into sendmail from the command line on the RS6000 to make sure it was working for local delivery for cron jobs, and it went through right away. I haven't really set it up for internet mail on that machine as that is done on another machine on my network that I don't subject to cooker, but I can try to duplicate your setup if I get a chance and see what's going on.

It is really faster than sendmail, and also really simpler to configure (and I don't talk about the security) the postfix mailing list is helpfull in case of trouble. Postfix is 'compatible' with sendmail, and thus should work fine with kmail. The mandrake package is well done (especially the cooker one), and usually you just need to change the myhostname setting in /etc/postfix/main.cf to have a perfectly running MTA. Beside that, sendmail should log why it is not working properly for you, did you had a look to your mail log (/var/log/mail/*) ? Did you try to send a mail directly with the sendmail interface ?

Re: sendmail is slow
Actually, I just did a quick sendmail only test: [stew@rs6000 stew]$ echo test | /usr/sbin/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Took maybe 12secs to give me back the command line. Doesn't seem to horrible, and I did get the mail at that account. Tried the same thing on my normal server, which has been running sendmail for years, and it took about the same amount of time.
