Did Telus indicate whether they use SMTP authorization? You may have to enter your username (with or without the @telusplanet.net) and password to authenticate with the mail server before it will accept anything you send. A lot of Internet providers are locking this down to try and prevent SPAM. There are security settings for both sending and receiving that you should also be aware of. I had some issues setting up my Kmail under SuSE 9.2 and where I got caught was with the "automatically detect what the mail server supports" button. It turns out my ISP's mail server is not correctly reporting what it supports. I had to force the settings to be something else. I am with Nucleus so I don't think my settings would help you but I thought you might be encountering a similar problem. It could be Kmail that is misinterpreting the security settings (I doubt this very much). Hope that helps Michael. BTW, Telus should be able to tell you the proper security settings for your outgoing mail. If not then get them to escalate your call to the next level of technical support. Good luck!
