If you want to know if the messages actually made it to your freeserve
mailbox, look in /var/log/mail.

With a little grepping, you'll be able to search for the e-mail addresses of
the people who were dropped and see if a message DID arrive, what date, and
what the reason was for it's loss.

If it didn't make it to the freeserve mailbox, then it IS their (or another
mail relay along they way's) fault.
