no, there's a bunch of stuff that happens prior to getting to the "MAIL FROM" command, though much of it is optional. what version of KDE are you using again? and if you haven't, can you try upgrading to 3.2 and see if that works any better for you (the smtp support was rewritten in 3.2)? also, make sure you don't have SSL/TLS or AUTH options selected in the SMTP settings if Telus doesn't support any of that. > By the way, hows BCC gonna work in the future? there's a new address picker in 3.2 that allows you to define To, Cc and Bcc recipients (as well as distribution lists and other neat things). to compliment this new dialog, future releases of KMail will have an address entry area a bit more like what you see in Mozilla Mail: a list of addresses with each marked as To:, Cc:, Bcc: in a vertical list with one address (or dist list) per line. > I must say, Kmail is pretty damn good.
