Exim4 with a Goddady account

[Nate Bargmann <n0nb@n0nb.us>]

I've used the esmtp package with Mutt for years but have noticed some
issues with GoDaddy's smptout.secureserver.net mail relay.  So, I
figured I'd give Exim4 a try (it's the Debian default so it should be
easy, right?  Heh, no).

Things seem to be getting tripped up somewhere and after a couple of
hours of reading the docs and trying to dig the depths of Google (with
many junk leads), I'm remembering why I punted Exim in the first place
(who's idea of a sick joke was Exim's inclusion into Debian anyway and
as the default MTA no less?).

Anyway, if there is no simple answer to getting Exim to play with my
GoDaddy SMTP server, then I shall look elswhere.  For your amusement,
here is the transaction when I attempt to force one of the frozen
messages:

exim -v -M 1LPq3H-00077w-MW
