Eh...

1) Your date is not RFC compliant. Use something like this:

Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:04:05 -0500

2) You don't have the required line between your headers and your
message body. I think your message should look more like this:

data
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:04:05 -0500
Subject: Test

This is a test.
..

(Sorry, I did not notice the lack of the blank line to separate the
headers from the body before.)

Well, there your date looks good. Though, there is the missing blank
line to separate the headers and body.

FWIW, I did hear from Godaddy and they indicated that I was using the
wrong mail server and that I should be using relay-
hosting.secureserver.net and not smtpout.secureserver.net. They didn't
give a reason why and they didn't give me the port number to use. I
tried all the port numbers that were available for the
smtpout.secureserver.net server and few that other mail servers are
using but couldn't connect. I have followed up with another email
asking for the port number but I have a funny feeling they are going to
say they only offer port 25 on the server. Unfortunately my ISP blocks
25 outbound (sigh). Perhaps I will get lucky though. The fat lady has
not sung yet.

I didn't complete a download of new postings before posting my last on
the server change so I hadn't seen your suggestions. I will give those
suggestions a try now. Thanks.

*nod*

For what it's worth, I was only able to connect to port 25 (out of 25,
465, and 587) on relay-hosting.secureserver.net.

I just did a cut and paste from an existing email. It shows you how
much, or really how little, I know.

Not a problem. I am just thankful you replied.

This is my latest effort.

data
354 End your message with a period.
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 19:38:07 -0400
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; format=flowed; charset=US-ASCIIsw
Subject: Test

This is a test.
..
554 Message refused.

I suspect you are hitting your head against the wall trying to solve a
problem that at least Godaddy feels is unsolvable if they switched me to
another server. On the other hand, I also suspect you know more about
email in general and sendmail in particular than 99.4% of their techs in
customer support so if you have any more ideas, I am game to try them.

Do I detect a sense of skepticism? :)

Thanks again for taking the time to help.
