Hmmm. Capturing an outgoing SMTP envelope? tcpdump comes to mind :).
Set it up to capture all TCP sessions going to port 25 on the IP address
of their MX and you should be set. There's probably an easier way -- perhaps
temporarily replacing qmail-remote with a wrapper around it that uses
recordio or something like that, but I haven't done that myself.
