           Summary: Unable to send mail with a spamhaus enabled sever
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.11.3
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dado at krizevci.info


Version:           1.11.3 (using KDE 4.2.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I'm using qmail with rblsmtpd using spamhaus.org. My SMTP setup is:

TLS
SMTP-AUTH
CRAM-MD5
Store password (if it matters)

When sending mail, I get:

Sending failed:
Invalid SMTP response (0) received.
The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem
(e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder.
The following transport was used:
 my.transport

which wasn't really helpful. What was weird is that it worked at work, but not
from home. So, I tried to telnet to my host's 25 and keep getting:

451 http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=X.X.X.X

where X.X.X.X is my current IP. Reading spamhaus' info:

"Important: If you are using any normal email software such as Outlook,
Entourage, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and you are being blocked by this Spamhaus
PBL listing when you try to send email, the reason is simply that you need to
turn on "SMTP Authentication" in your email software settings (Tools : Accounts
: Properties : Outgoing Mail Server : check "My server requires
authentication")."

If I disable rblsmtpd, kmail sends mail just fine. So, the problem is: either
my server is misconfigured (possible, it was done through Plesk) or Kmail
doesn't handle this case well. In any case, that error message mentioned could
use a facelift, it didn't give me much to go on.
