Sorry about those blank e-mail, Kmail freaked out, I think it had something to 
do with the KVM switch.

Anyway, there is a way for Mozilla to work with authenticated SMTP.  Someone 
at work knows how.  He had the same problem and at first though it was a 
problem with my server.  After an Ethereal trace (I love ethereal) he fixed 
the problem.  Said he needed work with one of the developers to get the info.  
I'll ask him next time I see him.
