Hi Dane,
have a look in your /var/log/syslog file - that's where sendmail (if you're
using local sendmail) will log errors and status messages.

Also, use a different tool (like "less" within an xterm) to have a look 
at the actual message in your outbox - the headers might show you enough for
you to work out what's going on/wrong.

oh, and btw, balsa is a gnome-based client, so it doesn't just run on linux.
