Qmail won't deliver when mail is sent from local Outlook

[bonjean]

Involved in setting up a new server and new installation of Qmail. Can get it to deliver with qmail-inject test.

In testing we sent mail to a test list from a remote email address and it worked. However, when we send mail to a test list from our internal Outlook program - qmail won't deliver.

When looking at the maillog, it indicates Sorry cannot find a mailbox by that name. It is as if it is getting to it but not finding the mailbox. It is weird that it works from outside mailboxes.

Any idea of what might be wrong? I have been reading and looking at the production box to try and figure out what might be the problem and am getting frustrated.

Thanks !!!!!!!

Is your internal (Outlook) machine using a private IP, or an internal 'fake' name for the Qmail server, instead of a 'real' ip or real name - like the rest of the world?

If so, you might have it setup to treat that internal name/IP as a seperate domain, which might not contain the mailbox in question. You dont provide much detail, so it's difficult to try to troubleshoot.
