Originally to: All Hello All! I cannot send email anymore. Except for small messages (2 lines).. It does not matter if I use kmail or netscape. Is it possible that another program should be killed (should not start up..)? This is what the system guard (ctrl/esc in KDE) shows: [...] ksysguardd \ __ I know.. the system guard ksysguard / opera-static \ opera-static opera browser opera / sendmail does sometimes send mail.. gedlnx golded sh ..perhaps for golded konsole ? kio_pop3 ? btxe binkleyterm btxe task2 xterm with btxe xterm btxe task2 kmail email program mailcheck a script that tosses mail binkd (server) binkd (client) pptp \ pptp adsl connection pppd / bash \ bash terminal 3x bash / konsole ? kwin ? ksmserver ? knotify ? cat ? kwrited ?

You see, a lot of question marks. Can somebody explain what these programs are used for? Is there anything that causes the trouble I have with sending email? Kees <-> Gateway Information.
