I'm having no luck sending email through frontier.com.
Their setup page says to use port 465 but that causes their server to disconnect immediately.
Using port 587 I get a lot further but it dies on
'SMTP>> MAIL FROM:<> SIZE=3093
        <>: Sender address rejected: Access denied'
Though I've played with lots of things I'm pretty sure the only thing that's changed from when all was working well with SuddenLink.net is:
 /etc/exim4/passwd.client:
    smtp.frontier.com:mikemcclain.46@frontier.com:myPassWd
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf:
    dc_smarthost='smtp.frontier.com::587'
and /etc/email-addresses:
    root: mikemcclain.46@frontier.com
    mike: mikemcclain.46@frontier.com

If anyone has exim4 working with frontier.com or simply has suggestions related to what I'm missing I'd love to hear it as I've been chasing this for a couple of weeks now.
Thanks,
Mike

Sounds like a call to their tech support may be appropriate.

Well, that's crystal clear.  Fix your envelope sender address.  You're
not sending bounces, right?  Then the envelope sender shouldn't be the
empty string.
