That's unlikely to be a problem with kmail, and far more likely to be
a DNS issue. If you do a "host smtp.blueyonder.co.uk" does it return
anything? What is in your /etc/resolv.conf? Do you have a static IP
(in which case you'll need to manually specify your nameservers), or
are you getting it from DHCP (in which case, DHCP should be supplying
your nameservers, too)?
