I discussed this with exim4  maintainers before this because I originally thought the whole authentication problem was a bug in exim.

Kmail sends the mail to localhost and exim4 takes over from there. The only hint that this is a "reply" might be "Re:" in the subject (or is there something in the headers as well?). So why should replies fail on auth when the same id and password are being sent with any transmission?

Would kmail for some strange reason send replies through a different transport? I have the localhost, sendmail (symlink to exim4) and the provider smtp account. Localhost is the default. A send direct to the provider will fail because kmail is not doing authorization.
