Hi Sean,
Two suggestions, 
#1 - turn your sendmail logging/debugging setting up as high as
it will go for just long enough to capture some of these events.
(then turn it back to its previous setting)

#2 - try using script and then telnet to capture an SMTP session
(Done by hand) with the MTA at the receiving end.  This can be a
little tricky and requires a good understanding of how SMTP
transactions are done so you can emulate it by hand.

I would focus on hat the receiving end does when you send it a
length that is > 1 MB.
