I have a user who is telling me that they attempted to send email to 
various places and the emails are simply vanishing. One of the places is 
to the place they work, and another was to Yahoo.

I've looked in my logs, and I see the mail coming into my server 
(verified by the SMTP logs showing the sender as my local user and the 
recipient as the remote user), and I see the SMAIL entry showing the 
mail being delivered by SMTP - but I don't see any way to confirm that 
the mail was actually delivered to Yahoo or to their work machine.

Where would I look to verify delivery? Does the fact that there's an 
entry in the SMAIL log with delivery method "SMTP" mean that the 
delivery attempt to the remote server was successful (meaning that there 
was no SMTP error generated during the protocol session and there was no 
DNS lookup or other transmission difficulty - I understand that mailbox 
delivery on the other side cannot be guaranteed)?

Any ideas on where to look would be appreciated.
