A "grep -i smtp" of the ethereal trace you sent me shows that you are
connecting to mail.exceedtech.net (65.116.46.23) from 4.253.131.84
(dialup-4.253.131.84.Dial1.Houston1.Level3.net).  This doesn't look
right...if exceedtech.net is your ISP you should be getting an address
within their address space 65.116.(?).  Anyway this is why they think
you are relaying...you are not connecting from their network, and not
sending email to an exceedtech.net address.

Maybe you have something wrong in your dialup settings?  Or maybe you
can compare with what mail server KMail really contacts with an
ethereal trace?
