The line I put in passwd.client is, "outgoing.verizon.net:my-user-name:my-password", which is my understanding of the man page instructions. I am attaching the tail of the mainlog entries which show exim4 obtained an IP address for outgoing.verizon.net.Thomas H.

[...]"man exim4_passwd_client" says The file should contain lines of the form target.mail.server.example:login-user-name:password which will cause exim to use login-user-name and password when sending messages to a server with the canonical host name target.mail.server.example. It goes on to warn that the target must be the rDNS entry for the mail server and offers suggestions how to get that right. It also warns about setting the routing correctly (I assume that a smarthost would override this, for example), but I haven't tried it myself. Yet. Chris
