I'm not sure how much mileage you'll get, but maybe you could try running sendmail in the foreground (without the -b, IIRC) and see if it's saying anything. 'mail -v' seems to always follow the mail through the .forward as well, if you haven't tried that yet. Whenever I've had problems with .forwards, it always has seemed to be a permissions thing, but then again, it's never half-worked like you're explaining the situation to be. No chance that you're calling sendmail locally, but qmail or something else remotely, is there? Happy hunting.
