KMail, SMTP timeout

[Guillermo Nájar-Arreola]

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
