Re: [SLE] Problems with posting to suse list using KMail

I wrote a mail earlier which bragged about how easy my switch to Linux was this morning. However as soon as I went to send the mail I hit a problem.

Normally I am subscribed to this list with the address: jsc_lists@rock-tnsc.com

My outgoing mail server is with another registered account: jethro@163bj.com My outgoing mail server in KMail is setup for this and is: mail.163bj.com

I have a profile setup for mailing lists in KMail called "jsc lists" in which my e-mail address is: jsc_lists@rock-tnsc.com. When I tried to post to this list from KMail using this profile I got a failure notice back from the qmail program at lists.suse.com. A copy of the header is attached below.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a feature (bug?) of KMail? This works fine in Outlook 2000. Also in Outlook 2000 I can setup a separate smtp mail server for each e-mail address. I can't see any way to do this KMail. I did try in KMail setting up the rock-tnsc.com smtp mailserver but one I tried to send mail it failed saying with error 550 saying that the header was incorrect.

Anybody got any ideas? Could I solver my problem using postfix to pass on my mail to my ISP's mailserver?

This last line is the offending line in the header. The qmail program at SuSE is picking up this address as the sender address, and since you're subscribed as jsc_lists@rock-tnsc.com and not jethro@163bj.com it doesn't allow the message. The solution would be to change the Sender: field to jsc-lists@rock-tnsc.com if you know how. Unfortunately I don't use kmail, so I can't tell you how :( Bye, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
