Just an idea: Sounds like your mail transport agent app (exim4, sendmail,
maybe) is set up to send mail via a relay server instead of being set up to
act as your own smtp server. If that is correct then you need to reset it to
be the smtp server for your system, if you are using static IPs and have your
own domain name. The other alternative is to use the clearnet smtp server as
yours and disregard the mail transport issue (much simpler, especially if
your system is using DHCP nameserving from Clearnet. In that case you simply
set up all of your mail readers icedove, kmail, etc. to use for
example "mail.clearmail.com.au" or what ever they tell you is their
mailserver name. If this works use it, it's more reliable in most cases, they
have massive back up :-) I have a similar set up with verizon smtp is set
to incoming.verizon.net for receiving and set to outgoing.verizon.net for
sending and I have exim 4 installed to manage local mail and also serve as my
domainnames smtp server. I also run teapop for pop3 on my local server. Thus
I have two mailing addresses #####@verizon.net for the main mail to which I
have kmail set up, and #####@ my.domain.name for local and very private mail.
I hope this helps!
