my MX is mail.qanet.gm or newgainde.qanet.gm
Thanks

Hard to help find a problem on either of those when you tell us they are
'mydomain.com'...
With that cleared up, both are responding to telnet ex Hong Kong.
Page Two:
When you say 'state.gov' are unable to deliver, what have you obfuscated
there?
- organizations within Gambia?
- Agencies in Africa, The Americas, Asia. Europe, Oceania?
- one or two *specific* senders?
You've said your logs do not show attempted connections.
Suggestion: *temporarily* ('coz it generates a lot of log lines) set:
log_selector = +all
If you know the IP from whence the problematic arrivals jump-off, a grep
for that IP now and then will turn up evidence of it connecting.
There will then be two PID's, listed in square brackets right after the
date/time. One for the listener daemon, the second for the child process
assigned to the connection.
Grep on the child-process PID to drop out all extraneous info and track
the life of that one connection.
If nothing shows at the same TZ-corrected date/time they have on their
error messages, a firewall or OTHER MX has intercepted their traffic,
ELSE they are not finding your current IP in whatever DNS they use.
If you have made a recent DNS entry change, it may simply be a
propagation/update issue.
HTH,
