Thank you very much for your answer, and sorry for the long silence.
We have had to change our IP's and that caused a bit of problems.
Without the A record in the zone file
when I do a "nslookup col7.metta.lk" I get host not found
If i put the A record back in the zone file then it is ok
Below is my col7.metta.lk zone file.
Would it be ok to put the ip of metta.lk as an A record
inplace of the 172.16.1.1 entry.
Please see the sample below.

The right answer is to firewall all incoming and outgoing mail from
Hotmail, until they fix their mail server to comply with RFC 821.
Unfortunately, it's not my local server, it's a client's.
Is this too insane? I liked it better than some RELAYCLIENT =
"@hotmail-fixup" in tcprules as that causes every message to be handled,
logged twice, etc.
Here's my end run of qmail and hotmail to handle this:
control/virtualdomains:
hotmail.com:alias-hotmail
alias/.qmail-hotmail-default:
# this bounces messages that are too big for buggy hotmail servers
|/var/qmail/bin/bounceonfilesize
# slight-of-hand to name service hotmail.com looks up to hotmail.com.
# but apparently not in virtual domains, which actually is cool for us
# doesn't affect incoming smtp stuff, only local outgoing, which is
# perfect
|/var/qmail/bin/forward "$DEFAULT"@hotmail.com.
bounceonfilesize.c:
#include sys/types.h
#include sys/stat.h
#include stdlib.h
#include string.h
#define die(str,code) { puts( str ) ; exit( code ) ; }

Re: Please- qmail stopped delivering mail
I'm by no means a qmail expert, but looking at your selective tar backup, I have something for you to check since you need help quickly (and it is early sunday morning and you may not otherwise get replies for many more hours) Check out these files (I'm on RedHat 6.1). They should be links to your qmail's sendmail... # ls -al /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Nov 13 11:58 /usr/lib/sendmail - /var/qmail/bin/sendmail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Nov 13 11:59 /usr/sbin/sendmail - /var/qmail/bin/sendmail I suggest this because it may not have been backed up by your selective tar. I'm not familiar with vchkpw, but you may want to check to see if there are other support items outside of the normal directories.

Re: using procmail with qmail+/Maildir+vpopmail
From Dave Sill's "Life with qmail" (http://Web.InfoAve.net/~dsill/qmail.html): 5.1. procmail procmail is a popular Message Delivery Agent (MDA). The function of an MDA is to accept a message from the MTA for a specific user or mailbox, and deliver the message according to the user's desires. procmail can be used to "filter" messages by the content of various header fields or the body of the message. For example, messages from a particular person can be directed to a mailbox for just that person. There are a couple tricks to running procmail with qmail. First, procmail is usually built to deliver to an mbox mailbox in /var/spool/mail. You can rebuild procmail to default to $HOME or you can instruct users not to rely on procmail to default the location of the mbox. Unless you patch it for $HOME delivery, procmail will still use /var/spool/mail for temporary files. Another problem is that qmail-command and procmail don't have a common understanding of which exit codes mean what. procmail uses the standard UNIX exit codes: zero means success, nonzero means failure, and the cause of the failure is indicated by /usr/include/sys/errno.h. qmail-command uses certain nonzero codes to indicate permanent errors and the rest are considered temporary. A small shell script wrapper can be used to translate the exit codes for qmail-command. Such a wrapper was posted to the qmail list and is available from the archives at http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1998/04/msg00487.html. Also, procmail doesn't deliver directly to maildir-format mailboxes. There's a patch available that implements maildir delivery in procmail. (See http://www.qmail.org/top.html#maildir) Another approach is safecat, a program that writes a message on standard input to a specified maildir. Users can write procmail recipes (delivery instructions) that use safecat to file the message. You can also skip procmail altogether, and use maildrop.

It moves it into a maildir folder and sends the reference to the envelope sender and Cc's it to a local "virus manager" address. * It checks for mailing-list and postmaster-style envelope senders - it never sends messages to them. The latter is a BIG ISSUE I think. What happens on the day when everyone within a particular mailing list runs Email scanners and a virus is detected.
