Hello Kishore
How many domains do you have in your email server?
I have a server, MX record to my server, every users manage to get their email
as normal.
How do you set your MX record? I think if you have
different hostname/domain, your MX record can be put the highest "5", for my
environment, both domains are set to value 5. Both domains will be redirect to
my mail server.
I have a firewall that will do port forwarding in
this case. When any SMTP port coming in, it will be redirect to my mail server.
I do my firewalling over another box. In qmail
server doesn't have any firewalling. However, you can try some webbased firewall
like firestarter (iptables GUI). I use this frequently.
If sender send emails to your client, you can
check through log file. /var/log/qmail/smtp/current
You may test out this few steps like if sender
from outside sends email to your client, whether your client can receive or
not?
You can check your queue mails with command:
qmailctl queue .... to force the queue mails, try qmailctl doqueue
you can see mails starting to send with tail -f
/var/log/qmail/send/current
Cheers..
