normally when working with mail on a local basis or @ least up to the
gateway its very convienent to do protocol analysis yourself using ethereal
or ngrep.

Where does phpinfo() tell you your sendmail path + setting is on both boxes?
i accidentally copied a php.ini over to a box once w/ bad settings.
