Better yet, if you know raw SMTP, you could telnet into the other guys server and watch for error messages.
I highly recommend memorizing the POP and SMTP protocols. I've forgotten them in the past few years since I haven't been administering servers (administrating? anyway I haven't been a server admin) but when I was, having the protocols memorized helped immensely when troubleshooting mail problems. And when I say "troubleshooting mail problems' what I really mean is "convincing customers that the problem is not with our server." They're really quite simple. You could even write up a cheat sheet to help out until you've fully committed them to memory.
