When trying to send mail using Kmail I get the following error after I have logged in successfully:
Sending failed:
Your SMTP server does not support authentication.
The server responded: "Error: authentication not enabled"
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.
The following transport protocol was used:
Boggs

However, manually through telnet I can deliver mail to local and remote addresses. Here is a copy of what my mail.log has:
Jul 8 20:12:38 zoggs pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:192.168.0.8]
Jul 8 20:12:38 zoggs pop3d: LOGIN, user=r2s2, ip=[::ffff:192.168.0.8]
Jul 8 20:12:38 zoggs pop3d: LOGOUT, user=r2d2, ip=[::ffff:192.168.0.8], top=0, retr=0, time=0
Jul 8 20:13:02 zoggs postfix/smtpd[7115]: connect from weber.snarl.hopto.org[192.168.0.8]
Jul 8 20:13:02 zoggs postfix/smtpd[7115]: lost connection after AUTH from weber.snarl.hopto.org[192.168.0.8]
Jul 8 20:13:02 zoggs postfix/smtpd[7115]: disconnect from weber.snarl.hopto.org[192.168.0.8]

Here is a copy of my postfix/main.cf:

command_directory = /usr/sbin
mail_owner = postfix
default_privs = nobody
mydomain = snarl.hopto.org
myhostname = zoggs.snarl.hopto.org
myorigin = $mydomain
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
alias_databse = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
inet_interfaces = all
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain $mydomain
mynetworks_style = subnet

home_mailbox = .maildir/
mail_spool_directory = /var/mail
mtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +

I don't have any authentication daemons running so I don't know what the authentication issue is, since I authenticate w/the serve rbefore the error appears.

Any help would be appreciated,

I think you need to disable the option "Server requires authentication" in the transport settings. I don't use KMail, but I think you can disable this in: Configuration, Accounts, Sending

cheers
