First, let me repeat what I heard you say, to make sure we're on the
same page. You have qmail running on 'mydomain.com' (whatever that resolves
to.) When logged into 'mydomain.com', you can send mail to another user
just fine. When other machines try to deliver mail to 'mydomain.com',
however, they get the above error.
This implies that qmail-smtpd is not running and/or not listening
correctly on port 25. The "Connection refused" message usually means
exactly that.
You can test this theory by typing 'telnet mydomain.com 25' and
seeing if the connection is accepted or rejected.
If the connection is truly rejected, then find out why. Is
qmail-smtpd running (ps -auxwww | grep qmail-smtpd). If so, is it listening
to port 25 (look at the tcpserver command line, use 'lsof', or possibly
'netstat')?
