See http://people.debian.org/~osamu/pub/getwiki/html/ch07.en.html#theconfigurationofeximeThank you for this reference. I believe it confirms what I believe to be the problem, namely verizon must require "|MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = true|" and "|AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS=yes|" The question is how to modify the exim4.conf.template file. Note that my system is Etch and that the Debian installation of exim4 does not include -or at least I cannot find - exim4.conf.localmacros. I will try again editing exim4.conf.template.
(This is part of new Debian Reference for lenny. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianReference)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.The host name in /etc/exim4/passwd.client should not be the alias. Youcheck the real host name with:$ host outgoing.verizon.net
$ host outgoing.verizon.net outgoing.verizon.net has address 206.45.232.12 There is no indication of an alias. Tom
