<sigh> There I was, congratulating myself on getting SpamAssassin working through KMail, using mailfilter as a precommand. I sat back, luxuriating in seeing swen die at the SMTP level. Spam floated effortlessly through SpamAssassin, to land with a thump in the FilteredSpam box. I emailed a few friends. I fiddled with adding friends to mailfilter, and muddled with KMail configuration. Sunday afternoon was glorious.
Then KMail rudely rejected mail, claiming 553 sorry ... rcpthosts not allowed #5.7.1 .... I googled, and refiddled, life was not so good. Surprisingly little was documented, less in English, and now I find things work again (although I stoutly deny I made any changes to make things better) 1. What did the message imply? 2. What the hell happened? As far as I can tell, from one episode of successful emailing to the failure, I did not fiddle. And as far as I can tell, from the time of that failure to send messages, after trying all sorts, I really left it alone to search for help, and then beg of this forum. And now it works again.
