Okay, someone said I would do better with sendmail versus 
KMail's SMTP. So I went to the NetBSD Guide, Chap 11. Did 
all there. So I "send" a message with either KMail or 
Communicator and SMTP exchanged for SENDMAIL in the 
configs. 

Then, later, since I'm not on-line 24-7, I do this...

# sendmail -q -v

...just like on NetBSD Guid, Chap 11.5. And I get this...

...which makes me wonder, first, why might it not have 
sent? and how did it know that my base account for AT&T 
is "misterasturno" when I had configured aliases for the 
account "oinkfreebiker"? Know that I have five separate 
e-mail accounts on AT&T.

I also installed "mutt". Mutt seems to work fine. Once I 
configure it for a larger font, I suppose that it will 
work pretty well. I'll try sending mail from mutt later.

Oh -- when I said I didn't configure much on the install 
of KDE, I meant that I didn't dive into stuff like 
/etc/blah/blah.cfg or any such. I did, of course, have to 
supply the regular things. Which I foolishly thought was 
obvious from the fact that I COULD send short emails.

Thanks,

Gan
