That is surprising. Thirteen years with CF, from v4 thru 10, and that has never been my experience. It has always come down to the SMTP server, or the recipient, 100% of the time. One environment I ran processed upwards of 800,000 emails a day.
When you say there is no record on the mail server, do you mean the recipient server? Or the SMTP server? Is there a spam filtering server in between somewhere? Does your CF server authenticate with your SMTP server on send? What sort of security checks and balances are setup on your SMTP server? If you have an entry in the CF Sent Mail log, then there was a valid handoff of your message to your SMTP server. If the hand off fails, it drops to the Undelivered folder.
