You should see asterisk logging the email in /var/log/asterisk/messages
like this:
Dec 19 09:07:58 DEBUG[31885]: Sent mail to 2011234567 at yourcarrier.com with co
mmand '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t'   

And, the mail handler (in my case, sendmail) in /var/log/maillog.

Might have to play around with the asterisk debug level to get the
entries (since it says "DEBUG" in the above). Check /etc/asterisk/logger.
