This probably means that your computer tried to resend the message (which is probably what the 'deferred' referred to), and succeded. If you take the ID of the message (that weird string like g4UNF...), and search the log for all instances of it, do you find one where the message actually got sent? > mail -v & sendmail -v works, and corresponding messages like the one > in my post appear as a result. do you get an actual error from these commands? Or just the errors in the log file? Are you sending mail through a mail host -- that is, is your computer set up to directly contact the smtp hosts of the receiving server, or do you send your messages to another machine to actually send the message?
