1- Ensure that the port 25 is open in your firewall.

From another system, run:

telnet mailserver 25

2- Ensure that your MX record in the DNS server is pointing to your Mail Server.

check with:

dig yourdomain.com MX

3- Ensure that your qmail configuration is correct to accept mails for your domain name.

Hi,

It sounds like DNS resolution problem.
From different domains/Server try to resolve thru the DNS nslookup.

# nslookup
> set q=mx
>

Look into the output, are able to resolve as mail server in the output.
xyz.domain.com preference = 150, mail exchanger = abc.domain.com

Another way, try to send an email from different node using
# sendmail -v < filename

Analyze the output where it is dropping.

There are some files under /var/qmail/control that you should change them befor starting the qmail

You said you are not able to receive mails.

if someone sends a mail to you (from some free mail service), does it bounce?
If it bounces, what does the error message say?
