I assume the mail -v message didn't make it to the final destination, just like the Thunderbird message didn't? Short or raw SMTP, with nothing in the logs, the only thing I can think of is mailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] and asking what's up.
Just to clarify. mail -v works. Thunderbird does not. Mail logs look the same. Weird.
In the mean time, I've added an MX record for thesmithfam.org as well as an RDNS entry with Linode so my IP ought to backwards-resolve to thesmithfam.org within 6 hours or so. Hopefully that sets things straight in the long run. Thanks for the pointers!
I'm guessing the reason mail -v works and Thunderbird does not is because mail -v uses my li6-49.members.linode.com hostname when sending, while the Thunderbird process somehow uses thesmitfhfam.org (not sure where or how, but the gut says that's what's happening). That should be sorted out soon. In the meantime, I'll just keep using "mail" to send to those domains that like to ignore me.
Thanks Plug -- you've been very helpful. Now, if you like, we can enter into an endless debate on why this is Postfix's fault, and how "real men" use $MTA and edit configs with $EDITOR instead of $INFERIOR_EDITOR.
