Using CiviCRM 4.1.1 on Ubuntu 7.  Trying to get CiviMail actually doing mailing.  I can send emails manually and the Test step in setting up a mailing works correctly.  I'm on an ubuntu server using elasticemail.com as an smtp.  I've done a ton of cron work on other apps but I can't get this to work.  It's a new, practically empty CiviCRM installation.

Getting this set up is particularly frustrating because the supposedly helpful sticky post at the top references a manual that's out of date; the return account setup doesn't have a "default" option (I presume "bounces" is the new correct option) and the referenced EmailProcessor.php file has been deprecated.

Do how do I go about configuring this?  When I run the wget by command line there are no errors returned but the emails don't get sent.  When I try the URL directly in a browser I just get a white screen.  There is no record of the mass mailings being attempted in the elasticemail.com log.  I am using the site key copied/pasted from /sites/default/civicrm.settings.php.

Thanks!

Yes, SMTP.

How do I check if it tried to connect?  Normally I would look at the mail log, but that's at elasticemail.com and it's log shows nothing.
