I just set up a mail server using Qmail on my home server that is connected via cable modem. I keep getting the following mail returned back to me when I try send a message to that server from my work email.

Code:
did not reach the following recipient(s):

postmaster@mydomain.com on Fri, 14 Jul 2006 11:34:17 -0400
    The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not
report a specific reason.  Check the address and try again.  If it still
fails, contact your system administrator.
    < workdomain.com #0.0.0 smtp; 554
<postmaster@mydomain.com>: Relay access denied>


I can send mail from yahoo, gmail, from one of my hosting plans, and even had a friend send from his company (a university) and everything works fine. But if I send from my company i get the above returned. Any ideas?

Maybe you need to setup your server to relay the messages. Create /var/qmail/control/smtproutes containing ":your-ISPs.smtp.com" and restart qmail.

Otherwise, what does your logfiles say?
