Discovered today that it appears that Thunderbird is blocking emails I send out for work with Google drive links in them. I have tested this several ways and Tbird is definitely looking like the culprit. Emails sent thru Tbird with Google drive links are not bouncing back and are showing as sent though. Parties who are sent emails thru Tbird without the google drive links are receiving emails from me with no problems. Also sent an email with a google drive link through my ISPs email interface (not Tbird) and that email was received fine also.

I suggest you ask you ISP what they are doing with them then. When you click send, Thunderbird contact the SMTP server of your mail provider. I am assuming it is your ISP from your comments.

if the server rejects the message for any reason Thunderbird gets an error. if no error is given and the SMTP server accepts the mail Thunderbird puts a copy in the sent folder and assumes the server it gave the mail to did it's job. What you are saying is the server did not do it's job. It either rejected it and said nothing, or did not send the message on.
