So if you have one log file that says CF sent the message
successfully, and another log file that says that your mail server
didn't receive a message, why do you assume that the mail server log
is right and the CF log is wrong? I mean, there's a big difference
between just failing to deliver a message, and both failing to deliver
a message but also logging that the message was sent!

I can think of one case where I've run into a similar issue, and the
root case was a spam filtering measure on the recipient server. CF
said it had been sent, but the recipient system (Postini) did not list
it. It turned out to be a feature in Postini called "Blatant Spam
Blocking" which caused the incoming message to be dropped and not
delivered or even logged by Postini.
