I've got a puzzling situation:
When I test the global mail settings, I can receive test my via either php method or smtp.
When I go to send a mailing, however, it says that it is sending test mail, but no mailing comes through.

Any insight would be appreciated. Let me know what information might help debug the issue, and I will happily post it.

Okay, so, I've been wresting with this for a while.
It was actually only after enabling VERP that I could get the mailing test to work properly. Now, however, I am stuck with a scheduled mailing that I can't get to send. (I also have a scheduled mailing that I'm trying to delete, but that just spawns a copy, but that's really another issue). I played with crontab a bit trying to get things to work, but I think it might make sense to first address the fact that I can't get mail to send using the: Wordpress: http://[SITEROOT]/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=username&pass=password&key=site-key method. It doesn't throw an error or anything, just comes up with a blank page, but still, nothing is sent. The 'settings > scheduled jobs' page says 'no settings, never, no' for all of the various jobs.

What are the possible reasons that the manual poke method would fail silently?
