The logs say the message was sent successfully..

Okay, the mail is indeed delivered, but it's not ending up where it  
should be!

So I'v fiddled with a few things and here is the whole story:

webcentral.com.au hosts a mail server for the domain, my address  
(jerahmy.pocott@) is configured to forward all mail to  
jerahmy at mac.com, which works fine. The only thing that doesn't work is  
mail from local system users (such as root), the mail gets delivered  
to the webcentral mail server but never turns up in my mac.com box. I  
changed the forwarding to leave a copy on the server and the mail is  
showing up there, but not getting forwarded to or accepted by the  
mac.com server and no error mail is being sent back anywhere..

So at this point it would seem that the forwarded mail is being  
silently dropped? This only began happening on the 11th of march..
