Have you investigated the -N option? That goes through the motions of
delivery without actually delivering. Thus, in conjunction with -d9, you
can get more information. For the SMTP transport, it will list the host
names for you.

Mind you, I'm always *very* careful when playing with this, in case I
forget the -N and start sending mail I don't intend to. One way of
insuring against this for external mail is to set

service = 1111

(or some other random port number) on the smtp transport, so any
accidents don't actually send mail outside.
