I have tried several ways
I also just tried the setup suggested by you
but mail is still not going to domain.
below are the files /var/qmail/control/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9 Nov 28 11:34 defaultdomain
metta.lk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34 Dec 12 14:05 locals
localhost
mail.metta.lk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49 Dec 12 14:07 rcpthosts
localhost
mail.metta.lk
metta.lk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18 Dec 8 18:33 virtualdomains
metta.lk:metta.lk
Thanks for the help.
