When I set up Kmail for the "server" and the "host" I used the name of
my ISP. When I sent a test message I got the following:
    Sending failed:
    a SMTP error occured.
   Command: Connect
    Response: Connection refused

    The following transport portocol was used:
    smtp://localhost:25

Then changed the "server" and "host" to a dotted numeric and got
the following:
    Sending failed:
    A SMTP error occured.
    Command: Mail
    Response: 501 <vernon@impulsedata.net> Sender domain must exist.

    The following transport portocol was used:
    smtp:// 216.58.152.2:25

I am using SuSE Linux 7.3 OS and KMail,and would appreceate any help=20
that can be given. I am sending this using Outlook Express which I would
like to do away with.

TIA
