Thanks, Todd. I'm going to put a lot of what you suggested to work. I
just called my ISP and, no, port 25 is not blocked. How can I check
that I am sending mail through my localhost machine? In Kmail I smtp
into the server, so I hope that is not what you meant.

I need to set it up so that it will send mail only from this local
machine, so that I will not become a spam-acquaintance. I thought that
google would send me to loads of info on this, but so far I remain
stuck.
