Description Brad Smith 2008-04-03 06:58:45 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    OpenBSD Packages
Compiler:          GCC 3.3.5 
OS:                OpenBSD

Configuring an SMTP transport to use a FQDN which has an AAAA DNS record results in KMail attempting to connect to the SMTP server and immediately disconnecting with a   dialog box popping up saying "Sending failed: The process for the smtp://[server name] protocol died unexpectedly" and the message is not sent. If I configure the SMTP transport with the IPv6 address KMail does not even attempt to connect to the server and fails immediately with an error message of "Sending failed: Could not connect to host [IPv6 address]".

The server side shows the following for the initial connection described above...

Apr  3 00:31:06 speedy postfix/smtpd[8090]: connect from booyah.home.comstyle.com[2001:470:8802:3:216:41ff:fe17:6933]
Apr  3 00:31:06 speedy postfix/smtpd[8090]: lost connection after CONNECT from booyah.home.comstyle.com[2001:470:8802:3:216:41ff:fe17:6933]
Apr  3 00:31:06 speedy postfix/smtpd[8090]: disconnect from booyah.home.comstyle.com[2001:470:8802:3:216:41ff:fe17:6933]

POP3 and IMAP work fine for retrieving e-mail from the server. Other MUAs with IPv6 support are able to send mail via this server and with IPv6 in general.

This crash report is at least 3 years old and there were no further comments or status updates since then.

Therefore we believe that this crash is already fixed in recent KDE 4 versions or the backtrace is no longer applicable to the current KDE 4 sources.

If the crash still happens with a recent KDE version (4.10.5 or 4.11), please add an updated backtrace or provide steps to reproduce. For more information, see http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

(To prevent automatic closing of this bug in the future, please set the bug status to ASSIGNED or CONFIRMED)
