I got an error message that said I had sent too many emails in one 24 hour period, but those emails went to my sent box, how can I tell if they were actually ever delivered or if I need to resend?

Thank you for the info, but I already sent the emails, so it doesn't look like I can retroactively do those suggestions. Is there a way to see if the email went through that was already sent without doing return receipts or DNS?

Thanks!

Typically you'd get a delivery failure notification in case something went wrong. Even if there's no error message, there is no guarantee that your message has been delivered to the recipients Inbox. E.g. the message could have been classified as junk by the recipients email provider, or the recipients email client.
