What happening on my smtp server(postfix)? And we have a firewall (Cisco PIX 515E) in front of smtp server(postfix), is it a firewall problem to cause the problem? Or our internet line problem? I'm really no idea on this case, I really need your reply!!! Many thanks!

250 means that the transmission was successful. I doubt that there is a problem in the log snippet you posted.

Postfix generally gives more detailed information about the failure in the body of the message, have you got that there? maybe post it.

Thanks for your reply and there is mail return message I/our users got,
