Hi, did you try to send a mail from telnet?
telnet localhost 25 (this connects to your smtp server) EHLO mail.example.com MAIL FROM: <y...@example.com> RCPT TO: <destinat...@example.com> data # enter message bodyand end with a line with only a full stop. blah blah blah more blah . with this lines you should be able to send a mail from telnet. Does that work?
