Interesting, yes there is a dead.letter file generated. What does that mean though? All it is is exactly what should be sent out.

Thanks for the lead.

    It means sendmail is finding it difficult to deliver your mail. Try printing out a "good" e-mail to a text file (or use the dead.letter you found, though you might have to edit it a bit), and pipe it through sendmail yourself: 
    $ sendmail -t <message

    See if sendmail says anything to you.
