In an important recent paper [4], G. A. Elliott has given a necessary and sufficient condition for every derivation on a separable C*-algebra with identity to be inner. Indeed, Elliott's condition has since been shown, by Akemann and Pedersen, to be equivalent to the C*-algebra being a finite direct sum of C*-algebras which are either homogeneous of finite degree or simple [8, Corollary 3.10].
