I still wonder. And no, AFAIK I am not running a mail server, just
kmail from a kde 3.3.0 build by konstruct.

The actual path from coyote.coyote.den at 192.168.xx.xx goes thru an 8
port netgear switch, to my firewall, gene.coyote.den via the eth1
interface in that machine, gets noted by iptables, and forwarded to
router.coyote.den in a different subnet of the 192.168.xx.xx block.
router.coyote.den is a linksys BEFSR41 set for gateway mode, which
sends it thru its NAT and PPPoE to the wan port and the westel dsl
modem. So the quoted address in the 151.205.xx.xx block above
doesn't exist on my side of the BEFSR41. Kmails sending is
configured for smtp, with the output address & password direct to
incoming.verizon.net.

If somehow, the smtp is adding my local hostname so that my regular
address is munged, how can I fix that? Or is it my problem since the
header of the outgoing message copy in kmails sent mail folder
contains no such data. Is that not a verbatum copy of whats sent.
If not, then it sounds like its time to file a bug against kmail.

See above description and tell me, I am apparently a big dummy.
