My system is Sarge with a 2.6.11 kernel. We have a Verizon DSL
connection. I can send and receive email with Mozilla and receive mail
with fetchmail but I have not been able to setup exim4 to send mail from
mutt.
With Mozilla the setup is:
Account Name: lists
Your Name: Thomas H. George
email address: lists@tomgeorge.info
POP mail server
server name: mail.tomgeorge.info port 110
user name: lists@tomgeorge.info
Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings
server name: outgoing.verzison.net port 25
user name: dryden
With exim4 the setup using dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config is
Split configuration into small files?: No
mail sent by smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail
System mail name: tomgeorge.info
IP address to listen to: 127.0.0.1
Other destinations for which mail is accepted: Left Blank
Machines to relay for: Left Blank
Machine handling outgoing mail for this host (smarthost):
outgoing.verizion.net
Hide local name in outgoing mail: No
Keep number of DNS-queries minimal: No
In addition I have edited the file /etc/exim4/passwd.client adding a line
mail.verizion.net:dryden:OurPassword
Somewhere I have gone wrong in the setup but, having tried various
combinations without success, I need help. I am attaching the the
result of tail /var/log/exim4/mainlog in hopes this makes my mistake
obvious and someone can put me straight.

If not, you need to authorize your exim to do authentication over an unencrypted connection.
