Yeah, smtpmail-debug-info is only going to be relevant if you are using the all-elisp "smtpmail.el" smtp client to send outgoing mail; mail sent to sendmail/exim/postfix/etc. via their /usr/sbin/sendmail executables wouldn't cross that bridge. Perhaps you could customize `message-sendmail-extra-arguments' to a value that would log more verbosely. something like "-D some-file.txt" would send error reporting info there in sendmail's sendmail; perhaps exim has a similar setting. -- Good luck, WGG
