           Summary: Unable to send messages to smtp server with
                    authentification if login has @ (at) character
           Product: kio
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: smtp
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: geroxp at web.de


Version:           Unbekannt (using 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-21-rt

Steps to reproduce:

1. Configure a smtp server for outgoing messages which requires
authentification (in kmail)
2. Use you e-mail-address as a login name for smtp authentification (it does
not matter if this account or login name really exists)
3. try to send a mail with kmail using this outgoing smtp account

Result:
Error sending mail:
smtp://john%40example.com:mytinypw@smtp.example.com:25/send?headers=0&from=john%40example.com&to=marta%40example.com&size=2413

Further investigation of the problem with tcpdump and lsof revealed that
kio/smtp does not even try to connect to the server. It seems that the @
character prohibits it from trying. Other smtp accounts without @ characters in
login names work well.
