Well for sure it ain't the fault of kmail or linux. If you are using SMTP protocol to send your mails directly to your ISP, then once that little box saying 'sending mail' goes away, then that means the smtp protocol has completed, and your ISP has acknowledged receipt of your e-mail. Any subsequent delay in delivery can only be down to factors within your ISP and the mail servers along the path to the destination.
The only exception would be if you had configured kmail to send via sendmail or postfix, and sendmail was unable to establish communication to the far end mail server for some reason (DNS look up problems for example). In this case the mail would sit on your local server until such time as communication with the far end mail server could be established. Although as far as kmail is concerned, the mail has already been delivered. Of course mails to this list can take anytime up to two days to appear, but that is down to an issue with the mail list server, not simply because you are using kmail. derek -- >Hi all.
