And also because you want people to reply to you instead of trying to
send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or whatever) ;)

Lemme see ... you can just set the smtp server to vsnl and have kmail
queue mails till it sends them ... or use the DM flag in
/etc/sendmail.cf
DM vsnl.com
(of course - stop sendmail before editing the cf file, start it after
saving).
o Set HoldExpensive=True will queue mails till they are sent with
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q
