Can you devlier mail locally by running sendmail at the CLI with a debug level,
of say 21.  

sendmail -d21 -v  adamb@glaven.org
blah blah
.<Enter>
blah blah

What does it say?

First, nuke identd.

The message looks delivered to me.

What is the difference between these two log file snapshots?  Are they from
different hosts?

If those are the permissions, they are wrong.

drwxrwxr-x    2 root     mail         4096 Dec 31 04:02 mail
drwx------    2 root     mail         4096 Dec 31 08:55 mqueue

I'm really surprised sendmail isn't crabbing about it.

Have you looked in roots mailbox to see if anything is there?
