Fix the problem. qmail can't send out.

Why can't qmail send out? What's the error? Often it's as simple as the domain name you chose. If your isp doesn't know about your local company domain, and gets a mail from a strange domain, of course it will reject it.

The cure can be as simple as letting your mail server think it's on the isp's domain.

@OP

You can add the company mail server in /var/qmail/control/smtproutes like this:

Code:

:mail.company.com

Please note that what I've posted above is for the case you want to use your company's mail server as a relay, to send out mail. This is irrelevant from the domains hosted in your company's mail server. So you only need to use once your company's mail server FQDN in smtproutes.
And yes, you can test it. Just restart qmail after editing. And don't forget to make backups of the files you edit.

If you're editing your mail server in your pc, there is nothing to worry about the company mail server.
