Ok, a little more progress....I think. I did go back to the debian
readme's etc to figure out it's little dependencies and after reading it
again, it's becoming a little clearer.

The output I get in /var/log/exim4/mainlog now when restarting exim is:
2009-06-08 07:12:40 exim 4.69 daemon started: pid=29891, -q30m, listening
for SMTP on port 25 (IPv6 and IPv4) and for SMTPS on port 587 (IPv6 and
IPv4) port 465 (IPv6 and IPv4)
465 is in there since I am supporting MS Outlook users *sigh*
Here is how I got it going based on my debian install. I know there is a
debian specific list, but in an effort to provide followup to the existing
thread for future users, I'll toss it in here.
1. Add the following to /etc/default/exim4
SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS='-oX 587:465:25 -oP /var/run/exim4/exim.pid'
2. I created /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/000_localmacros , based on the
readme's, and have the following in there at this point:
Once I got the additional ports online, I started getting the following
error, so I added the smtp_enforce_sync line:
2009-06-08 06:42:18 SMTP protocol synchronization error (input sent
without waiting for greeting): rejected connection from H=[32.175.198.119]
input="\026\003\001"
After that, I started getting the error
2009-06-08 07:14:31 TLS error on connection from [32.175.198.119]
(gnutls_handshake): A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.
I changed my device (iPhone) to use port 587 but it was using "MDF
Challenge-Responce." I changed that to "Password" and now no longer get
the error. However, since this last change to "Password" the phone no
longer presents the error "Unable to send mail." It just goes through the
connection process and leaves the mail in the outbox.
The following error continues to occur each time I try and send
2009-06-08 07:14:38 no IP address found for host
mobile-032-175-198-119.mycingular.net (during SMTP connection from
[32.175.198.119])
I know this was talked about early on and Bill mentioned the following:
"- NOT ENFORCE forward/reverse lookup on port 587, where your own user base
attaches to submit mail. These will almost always be coming from a LAN,
dial-up,
*dsl broadband, hence will almost NEVER have a valid PTR RR or match
forward/reverse lookup."
I've not found the proper syntax to add to an acl to prevent this, yet.
In the end, the original scenario still stands, though I think I've made
"some" progress.
