I already restarted the server, which means that I restarted qmail. The
hosts you found with dnsmx are not my servers but my providers DNS servers.
The DNS I am running is just for my LAN and actually I only set it up for
qmail. We are still using a dial up account. What I want to do is to collect
all mail on the machine with qmail (ws1) and then using cron to send all
mail to our ISP's mailserver every 30 minutes or so. Same on the way back:
Using serialmail to receive every 30 minutes new email.

Well, it is -- serialmail can't receive messages. It's an SMTP or QMTP
client, not a server. You'll need to run qmail-smtpd or qmail-qmtpd if you
want to receive messages via one of these protocols from a serialmail client
elsewhere.

Post the output of `qmail-showctl` (copy & paste, without editing). I
realize
you summarized some of the contents in your original message, but too many
times it looks correct because the poster types what they meant to put in
the
control files, instead of what's actually there.
You did remember to restart qmail after changing locals, didn't you?

Well, you think it's running fine. Who knows what the rest of the world
sees.
>From here, I get:
[charlesc@charon]$ dnsmx waagen-schmitt.de
10 mx01.schlund.de
10 mx00.schlund.de
Are either of those hosts yours?
