This message has a different message-id and timestamp from the post log
message. Is that significant, or are you just copying 'typical'
entries?

In any case, this message was delivered to the MTA and had 1 recipient.
Is that the expected number? The message in the post log was also
delivered to the MTA, but the number of recipients would be in the
corresponding smtp log entry.

Check the smtp-failure and bounce logs for possible issues? Also check
the MTA's log for entries related to these messages

The MTA's log should help.
