Athe log file that IMail creates.  Well.. I've been looking at the log file

You need to look longer.  all will be revealed   vbg

SMTP deliveries are flagged with the keywords ldeliver, rdeliver, gdeliver, 
ie, "local", "remote", and "gateway".   I based my utlity on 
that:  http://IMDelivery.MEIway.com

Look in the Imail user guide, appendix E.  Not very useful, but it seems to 
be ahead of where you are.
