I'm using my ISP's SMTP server with the same settings as usual. KMail detected them itself and failures are rare to nonexistent. If I ever get to decent stability I'll see about adding my GMail account; holding of breath is not advisable though. Let's see if this goes out, after I spent two days rebuilding the whole system from scratch and setting up yet another new account for myself. I've also tried switching from MySQL to PostgreSQL for storage; so far I see little change. -- Regards, Peter.
