I've used the esmtp package with Mutt for years but have noticed some issues with GoDaddy's smptout.secureserver.net mail relay. So, I figured I'd give Exim4 a try (it's the Debian default so it should be easy, right? Heh, no).
Things seem to be getting tripped up somewhere and after a couple of hours of reading the docs and trying to dig the depths of Google (with many junk leads), I'm remembering why I punted Exim in the first place (who's idea of a sick joke was Exim's inclusion into Debian anyway and as the default MTA no less?). Anyway, if there is no simple answer to getting Exim to play with my GoDaddy SMTP server, then I shall look elswhere. For your amusement, here is the transaction when I attempt to force one of the frozen messages: exim -v -M 1LPq3H-00077w-MW delivering 1LPq3H-00077w-MW LOG: MAIN Unfrozen by forced delivery R: smarthost for n...@n0nb.us T: remote_smtp_smarthost for n...@n0nb.us Transport port=25 replaced by host-specific port=80 Connecting to smtp.starfieldtech.com [64.202.165.58]:80 ... connected SMTP<< 220 smtpauth04.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net ESMTP SMTP>> EHLO merlin.n0nb.ampr.org SMTP<< 250-smtpauth04.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-8BITMIME 250 PIPELINING SMTP>> MAIL FROM:<> SMTP>> RCPT TO:<n...@n0nb.us> SMTP>> DATA SMTP<< 250 Sender accepted.
