I have standard SuSE8.1 setup at home and Kmail can receive mails fine, but it can't send mail. Kmail is using Postfix.

Kmail using Postfix might very well be your problem IINM. Haven't been using Kmail in a while, but I've been messing around setting up a couple of Postfixes recently. Postfix will send out mail in the form of user@localhost.whatever or user@host.foobar and not worry much that it's sending domain is unqualified.

My smtp setup in Kmail is in the form : "smtp.isp_mail_address"

When I use kmail to send I keep getting the following message...

"Sending failed .... Sender address rejected: Domain not found"

Yep.

Sounds like you are not sending your local address to your isp. Check, prompt:~> hostname prompt:~> domainname

I think on the contrary, that that *is* the problem.

You can set them in Yast2.

True, but I'll wager that what James needs to do is use some form of 'canonical' address rewriting. Basically you can get postfix to rewrite the from: headers of your mail by putting something like james@unqualified.domain realaccount@mail.isp.tld in /etc/postfix/sender_canonical and then running: root@linux:~ # postmap /etc/postfix/sender_canonical root@linus:~ # rcpostfix reload at least that's how I got it working so I can send mail out from jon@a13.kinkon and receive it on dsl23212@vip.cybercity.dk...

Here's what I get linux:~ # hostname linux linux:~ # domainname

domainname(1) returns the yp domain name, not what you're looking for. Either 'hostname -f' or 'dnsdomainname'. -- -ckm
