I'm gonna start with an assumption here (dangerous, I know). I assume you
can send mail fine from the Qmail host but other hosts in your domain can
not send mail through the Qmail server to the net. If the is the case, and
you are using tcpserver, then you need to allow your Qmail server to relay
mail for hosts in you domain. If your network in 1.2.3, then you can add
the follow: '1.2.3.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""' to your /etc/tcp.smtp file. Now
run:
tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp
chmod 644 /etc/tcp.smtp*
Now your Qmail host will accept SMTP mail from any host in the 1.2.3
network. If you have other networks you need to relay, add them to
/etc/tcp.smtp as well.
