Re: [gentoo-server] qmail woes

[Benjamin Coles]

A few things to bear in mind here, if you setup a mail server, you need
a domain. Let's call that domain 123.com then can you send an email
locally as user@×××.com. That should work, if it doesn't you have a
problem with your qmail setup. Now if you can then the problem would lie
on the java side, maybe an incorrect hostname such as localhost.123.com
in your configuration of your applet.

If it happens to be the first problem look here
/var/qmail/control/locals
/var/qmail/control/me
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts

If you manage to figure out that it's sending to localhost.123.com you
can also fix it server-side by adding that domain to rcpthosts.
