Is there some other setting I should change? - Tom > George Exim4 can handle it transparently, but it seems by default Debian sets up exim4 to only use tls authentication. Try editing /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template and edit the 'remote_smtp_smarthost:' section. Change "tls_tempfail_tryclear = false" to "tls_tempfail_tryclear = true". Immediately below that line, insert a new line reading "hosts_require_auth = outgoing.verizon.net". (And make sure you spell 'verizon' correctly. I notice you misspelled it several different ways throughout your e-mail, which can also cause problems like you describe.) Once you're done editing the file, run 'update-exim4.conf' to generate the new config files.
