I have no solution, but a suggestion: send a message to yourself to see if it comes back to your inbox. If it does, that is an indication that the message is being rejected at the receiving site. That could be perception of spam, blacklist, or other issues - but not issues that relate to the Thunderbird client.

If your sent messages appear in the Sent folder, they have been relayed by your provider's server to the recipients' servers. If they aren't received by your recipients, that is not a TB issue. The recipients should check their Spam/Junk folders and unblock your address if your mail is filtered to those folders.
