just add a bogus account to vpopmail ([EMAIL PROTECTED] 
works fine and shouldn't get you that much spam),  add it as a kmail 
pop3 account and switch on interval checking. or you could use the 
"filter messages if they are greater than 1 bytes" option in kmail for 
a pop3 account.

Or you could use the "Precommand" functionality of kmail and use 
something like "fetchmail -c -s" as you precommand line for your smtp 
transport.

"Don't throw stones, when you're sitting in a glashouse." (German 
proverb) That's what smart people try to remember. :)
