Is there a "verbose" setting?

I'm trying to set up a new Linux Mint 12.0 install, which by default installs nullmailer as a forward-only MTA. I don't need anything other than a forward-only MTA, on this machine, so I'm trying to get it to work. First, I'm able to send emails from this machine using smtp-cli - a command-line smtp forwarder. So the connectivity is fine, I have the right smtp hostname, user, password, etc. My primary concern is getting things configured so that mails sent by the standard Unix daemons (crond et al.) get sent to an external mail account that I actually read. I've installed mutt, to use as a tool for generating the emails. When I send an email using mutt, I see it show up in /var/spool/nullmailer/queue, so I'm pretty sure it's communicating with nullmailer properly. So I've been sending emails to the addresses I want to test, and watching /var/log/mail.log and /var/log/mail.err. First problem was authentication. I needed to add username and password to /etc/nullmailer/remotes. Second problem was domain names. This machine doesn't have a meaningful domain name. I've been messing about with /etc/mailname and with /etc/nullmailer/adminaddr, /etc/nullmailer/defaultdomain, and /etc/nullmailer/me, until the outgoing mails are no longer being rejected by the smtp server, for unknown domains, whether I send to root, root@localhost, myaccount, myaccount@localhost, etc. The emails are being accepted by my ISPs smtp server. But, and it's a big but, they never show up at the destination account. So the question. Does nullmailer have verbose debug configuration options? Is there something I can set in its configuration to tell it to include more detail in its logging? Most particularly, can I tell it to log the complete header information of the messages it's trying to send? I'd really like to be able to see exactly what it's trying for to address, from address, and reply-to address. Is there an option that will allow me to do so?
