Would anyone happen to have ATTBI/Comcast?

For some reason I can't send mail. I think I have to configure kmail a certain way. My SMTP mail server is set to smtp.comcast.net but when I try to send mail I get this message:

Quote:

Sending failed:
The server did not accept the sender address.
The server responded: "must have local@DOMAIN - <Tim <*>> "
The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder.
Note: Other messages will also be blocked by this message, as long as it is in the 'outbox' folder
The following transport protocol was used:
smtp.comcast.net

I think it has something to do with the Default Domain setting. That's set to "localhost". Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Just to clarify, I can recieve but not send.

I've got Comcast, formerly ATTBI, and I can send and receive mail using Netscape 4.77 mail just fine. I also use smtp.comcast.net as my outbound mail server and I login with my chosen username "tomdkat". My e-mail address is "tomdkat@comcast.net" and is configured this way in Netscape 4 mail.

What happens if you change ANY domains you have configured in kmail to "comcast.net"?

Peace...

I'm having the same problem as warkrime. I'm use SuSE 9 professional.

I'm now using Mozilla 1.6's mail client and I'm not having any problems at all. I've got smtp.comcast.net on port 25 specified and I DO have Mozilla configured to specify my user id and sometimes I get prompted for my password when I send mail.

What mail client are you using?

Peace...

Did you ever get a solution for the Kmail 'must have loacl@DOMAIN' error? I am having the same issue with Kmail (suse 9.0) connecting to Comcast.

Whoa, I live in Maryland and I use comcast. I wasn't aware that they were a national company.
