I have tried with both kmail and thunderbird. My usual settings are tls
if available and and smtp auth with username and password I thought at
first that this was the problem it was using the old password so I
removed the default smtp server settings and removed the passwords. So
it would force me to manually enter the password again I did this while
on another network and tried to send with no success. As soon as I
disconnected from the neighboring lan and connected to the local lan it
took and sent but I am unsure if it is using auth it seems like it is
only sending because its on my lan how would I verify the authentication
process is working at all?

Thanks
