Thank you James!,
In KControl I modified the "Server Response Time" to 2,600 senconds, but the
problem remains.
Using CorssOver, I tryed MS Outlook, and the message was: 451 Timeout
(#4.4.2).
Using Evolution, I get: "DATA command failed: broken pipe: mail not sent".
On WinXP using Outlook, I don't have this problem.
What do you think it is?? I think it should be something related to a
setting in Kubuntu/Linux... since this problem shows for any mail client I
use.
Regards,
Guillermo
