connection (ADSL).

2) firewall (ipchains)
3) an X-server.
the hardware:

My target is to Install Internal mail server.
And also receive mails from “Multi Home Mail Box” for my domain and distribute to users.
My problem:
I receiving mail from local server to client, But I am didn’t send mail to server mail box.
I am receiving SMTP Error.
KMail Mail Client.
Problem showing like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Host smtp.esoft.com for sending:
The message willstayin the ‘outbox’ folder and will be resent.
Please remove it from there if you do not want the message to
