Shot in the dark: is the domain you're using samsco.biz?  By using, I
mean the hostname of the box you're attempting to send mail from is
"something.samsco.biz".  If that's the case, then the From address might
cause kmail to behave differently.  It looks like, for this message,
kmail tried to deliver the mail to the SMTP server on localhost.  I
don't know what you're setup is like, but I'm guessing you use your
ISP's SMTP server to relay your outgoing mail.  That would explain why
you can't send mail from anything @samsco.biz.

Quick test:  try using the walter at samsco.biz identity to send an email
to yourself.  Also try another identity, like walter at samsco.com, and see
if it will deliver that mail to an external address.

HTH,
Jason
