I re-configured Exim and posted the settings I selected. The settings
for Exim don't seem to be the problem.
I followed the steps you mention below, the mail never gets delivered.
When I check the Exim logs there is always a:
myaddress@ucwv.edu <nathan@student-test.ucwv.edu): Unroutable address
Where nathan@student-test.ucwv.edu is the username and host name of the
linux server.
If it matters, myaddress@ucwv.edu is hosted on Exchange (don't know if
that matters). I wouldn't think it should, SMTP is SMTP.....

It appears your mailer is not configured properly. If you don't know how
to configure your mailer properly, the simplest solution is probably
just to install and configure exim4 as proposed by Jon.
mail user@example.com
from the command line should prompt you for a subject and the text. End
the mail by a single dot "." on a line by its own.
Check if that mail arrives at its destination.
Check /var/log/exim4/ for whatever happens to your mail.
No program will be able to send any mail, as long as mail is not
properly configured on your system.
HTH,
Johannes
