are you running a local dns on the private network?
you need a dns server on the local network so that qmail can look up this domain, even
if the
domain is not visible on the internet.
I refer you to http://www.gradwell.com/help/connect/
which, even if it's not linux/qmail specific, should help you get the idea.
