I would expect something in the MTA logs. By default Dovecot uses local
sendmail binary to submit messages. You can try to run that and see if
it works. If you've configured Dovecot to talk to an SMTP server
directly, you can dump the protocol exchange.

I do find it strange that Dovecot and Pigeonhole don't log any specifics
about the failure. I don't see how that could happen.

What is your configuration (output from `dovecot -n`)

Stephan.
