If you have not customized it then you are using /usr/sbin/sendmail

Please look in /var/log/mail.log (Postfix logs there) or possibly
other location and see what it says. I forget where Exim logs to and
exim4 is the default MTA unless you select another. A common thing
for me to do is to run "tail -f /var/log/mail.log" in one terminal
window while sending mail in another terminal window.
yes, not customized, exim4 installed, so I assume that's sending the
mail
/var/log/exim4/mainlog shows nothing I deem useful.
Lots of stuff like:
2014-07-18 07:53:14 Start queue run: pid=13117
2014-07-18 07:53:14 End queue run: pid=13117
2014-07-18 08:23:14 Start queue run: pid=14426
2014-07-18 08:23:14 End queue run: pid=14426
/var/log/mail.{log,warn,info,error} are all empty, and the older files
(mail.*.1) show nothing since Nov 5 of last year.
So, the logs aren't proving particularly helpful.
