Well....  msmtp is an SMTP client.  

With your configuration you're sending the message to the SMTP server at smtp.blueyonder.co.uk for processing.  So, the logs of what then happened would be on that machine.  Which, I'm guessing, you don't have access to.

Basically, your message was sent out from your system.....but what happened to it is unknown.

You can test msmtp without using a configuration file by creating a "message" and then doing something like....

cat message | /usr/bin/msmtp --host=smtp.blueyonder.co.uk -f you at whatever.com towho at someplace.com
