Only out of desperation |

The server rejects the connections so they time-out. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Why would the server reject connections? What does the authentication? This |
| 12 |
seems to be the big question. For some reason, I can't get kmail or thunderbird |
| 13 |
to "shake hands" with my ISP's SMTP server. The user name and password are |
| 14 |
valid. I can access the webmail interface just fine. |

Other than filters to send mail to appropriate folders, no |

I've got no idea how to set up postfix. If I'm going to use it, I'll need a |
| 26 |
howto or some pointers. I only installed postfix to try to get kmail working. |
| 27 |
In order to run kmail or thunderbird, what MTA should I be using? I obviously |
| 28 |
blew off something when I did a depclean and I'm lost at this point as to what |
| 29 |
I need to get email sending working again.I have a mepis CD here. I'm thinking |
| 30 |
I should boot to that and see what I can figure out. does anyone have |
| 31 |
suggestions as to what I should be looking for? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I've looked at qmail, it seems postfix blocks it. I suppose I won't be any worse |
| 34 |
off without postfix. I'll read up on qmail and see if it will serve my purpose |
| 35 |
for the short term, but I REALLY want to get kmail working. I'm becomming |
| 36 |
obsessed, perturbed and frustrated. |
