Hmm, Apple has gotten a little better in this regard, but diagnosis of sending failures is still tricky.
There is a entire conversation that goes on, and the SMTP server will either say 250 OK or 4XX Error message Where the error message might be "Unauthorized from address", or "Message too large" or "Unknown recipient". When I have encountered these problems I would attempt the SMTP conversation by hand. You might be able to see it in the activity monitor but it probably happens too fast. I have seen some rules to follow with Googles's server but I can't answer in general. Try to get somebody with eyes to watch the activity window while you send. The only other thing I can think to do would be to open a terminal window and run snoop on that. Snoop would allow you to watch the SMTP conversation, if it is not SSL encrypted.
