are you sure, that your DNS server is set up correctly ?
it looks like a DNS problem..
what happens if you do a "dig eximsoft.com" in your shell ?

CNAME_lookup_failed...  implies that it could not resolve the recipient's 
domain.  Verify that your DNS server or /etc/resolv.conf  is configured and 
working correctly.

It usually means that DNS lookup fails (hence the error 
CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._). Make sure that your qmail machine has 
access to DNS or else you'll need to route external mails to other machine 
that does.
