Interesting, they sent me a message through kmail from their end, and I received it, but couldn't reply to it.Charlie:Have just subscribed to this list and using Icedove to post. Using Debian Etch/Lenny Have just been connected to satellite internet provider Clearnet who have some Linux capable techs on their staff, but have not been able to resolve a problem with Kmail 1.9.5 [using KDE 3.5.7] in Debian testing.These techs should train themselves regarding smtp ;-).
The provider couldn't discover why this should happen from my end. They had no problem sending to me through kmail from their end? They did describe a different configuration window, so assume they were using something like Ubuntu rather than Debian. It sounded like a more up to date kmail.If I attempt to send an email to myself, the test of the satellite provider [smtp], or anyone else using Kmail 1.9.5 [using KDE 3.5.7], with the new email address after setting the accounts up, I get an error message:- Sending failed: Message sending failed since the following recipients were rejected by the server: madesecure@clearmail.com.au (The server responded: "relaying mail to clearmail.com.au is not allowed")This indicates that you could connect to the mail server but he rejected your mail for some reason. Therefore you should check this out with your email provider.
Interesting as well? Icedove isn't blacklisted through that provider? Kmail is?I have no problem sending through the old dialup provider and have used Kmail for years. This is a new twist.I'd assume that your satellite provider is blacklisted somewhere. Dietz
You may well be right, but why kmail and not Icedove? Thanks for your suggestions. Charlie
