I've only tried sending invoices by email a couple of times so far  
(I'm about to set up the correct template layout for my invoices &  
then it'll be full-steam ahead), but SL seems to give no confirmation  
- it only adds a general note to the invoice to the effect of "sent  
at 22/10/2006".

This is correct under on my Linux install for Postifx - the -t flag  
is required to "extract recipients from message headers".

What happens when you type at the command line `cat some_file.txt | / 
usr/sbin/sendmail -t yo...@yo...p`? (without the quotes)
What happens when you `echo yo...@yo...p > foo && cat foo  
some_file.txt | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t`? (again without the quotes)

If the messages are not delivered then this is a postfix problem, not  
one with SQL-Ledger.

Check `postqueue -p` immediately after sending, or have `watch -n 0.5  
postqueue -p` running in another terminal.
