1. Have you tried reading section 35 of the exim 4.x spec, which
actually includes a sample configuration specifically for MSN? It doesnt
sound like you did.

2. You could instead perhaps arrange for mail relay service with another
sensible entity on the Internet somewhere that supports RFC 2476
(message submission) on its assigned port 587 (which hopefully MSN isnt
blocking)
