Tonino, I have the Linux mail clients configured exactly the same as their Windows counterparts...
But your question got me thinking and retracing my install steps (again) and here is something that I thought of: I didn't do the SMTP-AUTH patch when I compiled. That considered, shouldn't everything fail to send? Or does the latest QMail have the ability to handle smtp-auth natively? I'm going to try Nick's suggestion of using recordio to see what is being sent, maybe that will turn up some clues...
