Well, just keep using it and if you find a message queued that should
have been sent, please post the corresponding lines of your log
files; it will happen eventually, I assume.

Have a look at these excerpts from my logs:

"couldn't be sent - host not connected" : I was definately online when I
sent that mail. Thats why I think my (really) unreliable wifi is
responsible. 
Lets see what your logs will say.

Maybe, I should ask on the msmtp list, but not yet.
