OT, but I set up an MTA (postfix, in my case) as a relay host. So, whether using Icedove, Kmail, Mutt, whatever, I always send email to my computer (haggis). Postfix then turns around and relays it to my ISP's smtp server. This, along with fetchmail+IMAP gives me total MUA independence. (Might not work with multiple profiles, but I haven't tried to do any fancy Postfix configuration.) As you can see from the headers of this email which I sent out a few days ago, Icedove sent it to Postfix at 23:45:26 UTC, Postfix received it 5 seconds later, and (anomalously) my ISP received it at 23:44:26, a minute before I sent it.
