So:
"mailserver" is externally accessible, and passes everything to
"welcome",
"welcome" is a relay/gateway, relaying mail from "mailserver" to
"gatekeeper", mail from anywhere internal to "gatekeeper", and
delivers everything else (external) itself, and
"gateway" is an internal mail server or hub
"mailserver" is already running qmail and does what you want?
Now you want to switch "gateway" to qmail?
Is "gateway" accessible from outside your network? If so, don't remove
rcpthosts, set up selective relaying for your internal network.
I think you want the following on "gateway":
locals: localhost
gateway.mynet.com.pk
mynet.com.pk
smtproutes: :welcome.mynet.com.pk
Which delivers gateway and mynet.com.pk locally, but sends everything
else to welcome.
