           Summary: kmail does not write it's transport agent into
                    "mailtransports" when choosing sendmail
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.3

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

OS:                Linux

I stumbled over an issue when trying to configure sendmail as MTA for sending
mails in kmail. I always got a message about sendmail would not be configured
correctly though I knew it was.
After some fiddling around I found out that the line

host = /usr/sbin/sendmail

did not find it's way into the "mailtransports" file though I configured kmail
accordingly (as I had had done many times before). Manually adding 

[Transport 1574228004]
host=/usr/sbin/sendmail <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Added manually!
id=1574228004
name=Sendmail
type=Sendmail

does the trick. The "host" line fixed this issue. Must be some problem with
configuration / not writing information to the file as it should from within
kmail.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to configure sendmail as MTA

Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
possibility to send mails :-)
