sendmail.cf for qmail? Is this "cyberleadonline" your domain?

This is very likely to happen (though this is not the case here). In fact,
if I saw a domain with a name like "cyberleadonline" in my logs with error
messages, I'd normally start thinking something like "spammer" and add a
preventive block (especially if I see the website and find that it is an
"email marketing" firm).
Accepting mail from _selected_ domains (running a "whitelist") is
impractical if you have more users than you and your dog. You have no
guarantee of who / what domain is going to send you mail.

Tell qmail that cyberleadonline is local to you (in /var/qmail/controls).
RTFM the qmail faq at http://cr.yp.to please - there's lots of stuff there.
And try posting to the qmail list / newsgroup (pointers at http://cr.yp.to
...] <- _do_ rtfm first, the regulars there dont have patience with people
who ask basic FAQs without RTFM'ing.
