Hello, Spiros --
This topic is NOT one in which I am "strong" -- but allow me to ask a 
question.  Have you gone to "KMail --> Settings --> Configure KMail --> 
Security --> S/MIME Validation" and reviewed all of your settings?  I 
suspect this might address the specific problem you cite.  
Unfortunately, there is also the possibility that it will merely CHANGE 
your problem -- by allowing things through your security settings that 
you would prefer to keep OUT.  But, perhaps, it is a start!
