okay. I think you're going to do better using that exchange box as a
smarthost. dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and select the smarthost
option. It will prompt you for information on the smarthost (address
etc). Then exim will behave just like any ol' email client and connect
to that exchange host. If you need to qualify yourself to that host,
then use /etc/exim4/passwd.client to store login and password.


That did the trick!!!  Thanks for all of your help!  Now that this is
working, maybe I can get a better email client setup for this list
before my next question comes up!  :-)

Thanks again!
