We use it all the time (Boy, that's a surprise).  When you say that the
log says that the messages are going to the sun, do you mean that you see
lines that look like

3/19  9:22:51 delive1087:  end msg.aa11085 (AOK) smtp host user at host [0: 0:11]

in the file msg.log?  If that is the case, then what does the
/usr/spool/mqueue/syslog file on the sun have to say about mail activity
at 9:22?  If the file mqueue/syslog doesn't exist, then creating it will
cause mail logging to begin on the sun, and we will have more information
about your problem.

I would have to see the particular log messages on both ends of the
transaction to determine exactly what the problem is.

You mean that you successfully connect to the sun and see the SMTP
banner, or you you mean that you can type into the SMTP daemon and have
mail delivered yourself?
