This sounds like an SMTP error. Originally, all SMTP (outgoing mail) 
servers would relay mail from anywhere as a courtesy. Then spammers 
messed it all up. Now, all properly configured SMTP servers reject mail 
that is not sent from within their domain. So, if you are connected to 
ISP_X, you have to route mail through X's SMTP server (because none of 
the others will accept you) and vice-versa.  KMail probably has a 
configuration setting for this.

That isn't quite the last word on this. (Workarounds include 
POP-before-SMTP and SSH Port forwarding)

Hope that helps,

Richard
