I  see that a lot of extra information is being generated, but I was hoping 
that this might give me what was needed

I believe that the message is being accepted by Postfix due to lines like the 
following in the logs

Dec 23 10:12:20 wserver amavis[15273]: (15273-12) Passed CLEAN, 
[70.65.***.***] [70.65.***.***] <r...@stilltech.net> -> <******...@shaw.ca>,

(redacted IP address is the machine I'm sending email from. Redacted email is 
on the local cabelco mail server.)

I'm not 100% sure the problem is on the remote server, that's why I would like 
to trace the communication between my server and the remote server.
Thanks again,
Ray
