I've seen something that might be related.  I don't use feedmail, but
the similar but less fancy queueing in smtpmail.el which caused the
same problem.

Try to set (setq smtpmail-queue-mail t) and send the queue with
`M-x smtpmail-send-queued-mail'.  If you get nil here as well, then it's
probably a bug in this specific version of smtpmail.el.

The problem is fixed in the version in Emacs CVS -- I don't know about
the version shipped with XEmacs.
