Kmail is a desktop GUIfied email client, not a mail delivery mechanism. I seem to always receive your messages to the list and Kmail threads them correctly from what I have noticed. > ls /usr/portage/mail-mta yeilds 12 packages. > (suggestions/discussions on running a mail server are all welcome. > > I'm tire of waisting all this time, only to discover that other folks > running mail services, are basically a bunch of ahole, anti-linux > bigots.

I'll leave others to comment on the workload which running your own mail server could produce. Besides using a suitable application to configure a dynamically updated blacklist and virus checker to keep spammers and malware out, you'll also need to configure SPF, DKIM & DMARK to make sure your emails are delivered reliably to the mass market ISPs like hotmail, yahoo.com!, etc. Otherwise such ISPs may just drop them unseen and without warning.
