I have two qmailtoaster installations that exhibit the same behavior. I
am wondering if this is normal or can be fixed.
I have my outgoing SMTP/POP3 mail server (using Thunderbird) on my
office desktop set to use my toaster as a relay
(http://mail.example.com) which works fine, but if I try to use it from
my home machine it never connects. I wind up having to use my ISP's
outgoing SMTP server. Which is fine for me, but customers with multiple
desktops at their business are experiencing the same trouble. One
machine will be able to connect and send mail using the toaster
(http://mail.example.com), but others in the same office cannot. The
names of the clients domains are in the rcpthosts file, which should
allow them access regardless of what machine they are sending mail from.
I have experienced this same issue with Qmail before using toaster, so
it's either something I'm doing or it cannot be done.
Thanks,

I'm guessing the former. ;)
I don't think I have a clear picture of your situation yet.
I would check to see what IP the host name resolves to, then check to be
sure that you can route to that address. http://mail.example.com might
resolve to different addresses depending on where you ask
(public/private), and you may or may not be able to route to that
address, again depending on whether it's public or private.
