I think I've got most of the problems sorted out now. Sorry to keep
asking so many questions:(

It appears that mail is being delivered and accepted, but I never see
it.

Sendmail trace is:

In the user email addresses I have tdenham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and

The mail seems to be accepted, no rejection but I never see it.

All the above shows is that a local SMTP server on your machine accepted mail. It doesn't show anything about delivery to your SBS server.

Any ideas where to look?

I don't see anything in the mail queue under first administrative
groups, servers, ads1, queues.

Is there another place mail might go after being accepted?

From your local machine, probably nowhere, since *domain*
ads1.intellinet.local probably doesn't exist.

I would simply use a telnet session on port 25 direct to your SBS and try a manual send:

telnet <sbs> 25
helo example.com
mail from: test@xxxxxxxxxxx
rcpt to: <user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
data
From: test
To: test
Subject: test
Date: now
<cr>
..<cr>

And see if that's accepted. If it is, you can look for it in the SBS Exchange queues, and it should be delivered.
