It *sounds* like a basic relaying configuration question, but that
*is* well covered in the archives, the FAQ, and in Life With Qmail.
That firewall box has to allow relaying from all the internal systems
that you want to use it as an SMTP server, so their IPs have to be
listed in the cdb that you point tcpserver at, and they have to be
configured to set RELAYCLIENT. Details, as I say, in the FAQ and so
forth.
Unless of course I haven't properly understood your setup.
