Ah, a classical non-answer. @kd6lvw: Even though, in every individual case, the sendmail log will indeed tell you what it did to the mail, there is still value in posing the general question. @Nathan: Sendmail will indeed take care of making sure that every mail message is either delivered or properly bounced. (Except if your rules tell it otherwise of course.) Specifically, if MIMEdefang dies while processing a mail, Sendmail notices and signals an error to the sending server, which will then (if it is a properly working mail server) either retry or bounce.
