I´d still love to use KMail to read the mail my local Postfix setup delivers 
to my local user, i.e. cronjob messages. Like I was able to in KMail 1 times. 
But this would be something in Akonadi to implement, instead of in KMail I 
think.

Does KMail meanwhile make sure that it sends an FQDN, at the momentant I still 
have this in my Postfix mail server main.cf:

smtpd_helo_restrictions =
        reject_invalid_helo_hostname
        # Removed server didn´t accept mail from KMail., 31.5.2007, Martin 
        #reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname
        #reject_unknown_helo_hostname

(That also means I never tried setting a FQDN in KMail configuration.)

Thanks,
