OK, Running Debian Sid with experimental KDE packages.
I cannot mail out directly from kmail because my provider does not allow 
relaying (what they do from a dynamic IP--they'll gladly let me pay for a 
fixed one, of course). So I send mail smarthost through exim4. So the 
"target" is localhost. Exim4 actually sends the message to the destination 
using the provider as a "smarthost".

Both the rejection of "relaying" (direct through the provider) and the ELO 
(localhost) come immediately with the message remaining in outbox.
