To try and work out what is going on here, I fired up wireshark. With the host 
set to 'localhost' and the portnumber set to 1025 in the kmail accounts - smtp 
dialog, I click on 'check what the server supports'. The attached wireshark 
packet file shows the traffic generated. I'm not an expert but it looks like 
kmail is not using the port number that is set in the options dialog, but 
simply defaulting to the standard port 25.

If I run the uuplus server on standard port 25 (requires running as root, which 
I don't want to do as a matter of course) then kmail connects without a problem.

So it is clearly kmail not using the correct port number that creates the 
problem.

I did this test with revision 830974.

Thanks
