To get real help with your problem, you have to tell us more than that incoming mail does not arrive "for some reason".
Here is what I see from this end when I try to connect to your SMTP server: collier:~$ telnet drakeweb.homeip.net 25 Trying 216.75.173.58... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host collier:~$ OTOH, I can ping the host successfully, so I do have connectivity. But I cannot traceroute through (steps at "fe0-0.speede01.access.golden.net (64.39.160.98)"). And I can connect to your Web server, and telnet at least *tries* to connect to other ports. So exactly what "no route to host" means wrt port 25 is unclear, but it is apparently not a basic connectivity issue. So ... two things to investigate. 1. Does your ISP do anything to interfere with incoming traffic to drakeweb.homeip.net:25? This looks like a pretty good guess, since I get the same "no route to host" nonsense for port-25 connections fro other IP addresses slose to yours, for example: collier:~$ telnet 216.75.173.55 25 Trying 216.75.173.55... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host collier:~$ telnet 216.75.173.55 Trying 216.75.173.55... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused collier:~$ telnet 216.75.173.52 25 Trying 216.75.173.52... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host Note that I *can* get a regular telnet through to one of these addresses, though (it doesn't answer, as is quite proper, but there isn't a routing failure). If your ISP is jerking you around, no fiddling with qmail or Shorewall settings will help. You're screwed, pure and simple. 2. If that guess turns out wrong, please report the actual settings you are using, not just "as best I can" and "My shorewall settings are set to allow the correct ports in and out". Also, can you send mail from a host on the *internal* interface (assumign you've set qmail and the router up so they are supposed to accept internal mail)?
