I don't think the journal entry about the pid file is related to being able to send messages via KMail. I'm currently not using sendmail or KMail. But just for fun I installed sendmail and indeed that message appears one time when sendmail is started. However, not wanting to mess with KMail, I simply did a "telnet" to port 25 and manually sent a message using the "mail from:" "rcpt to:" smtp commands and sent mails without difficultly. So, it seems more like a KMail issue to me. -- You're Welcome Zachary Quinto -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
