Description Peter Sabaini 2008-11-23 15:49:49 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Probably because I copy-pasted the Servername into the dialog, the config file ended up with a literal '\n' at the end of the servername:

% grep host .kde/share/config/mailtransports
host=smtp.tele2.at\n

KMail is unable to send any mail with this config; after opening mailtransports in an editor and removing the literal \n it works. 

Whitespace chars should probably be filtered out before writing the configuration.
Comment 1 Peter Sabaini 2008-11-23 15:55:12 UTC 
Also, the error message is a bit unhelpful -- I just get:

Sending failed:
smtp://user:pass@smtp.tele2.at
:587/send?headers=0&from=peter%40sabaini.at&to=peter%40sabaini.at&size=375
Comment 2 Jaime Torres 2008-11-25 11:41:38 UTC 
Confirmed in kmail 1.10.90 svn trunk r888112 in the outgoing accounts.
Comment 3 Tom Albers 2008-11-25 19:21:08 UTC 
SVN commit 888995 by toma:

Make sure the hostname does not end with a \n. Strip it on input and strip it on retrieval.
Thanks for your bug report.
