John,

I usually run into the opposite....the e-Smith server handles e-mail but NOT www or ftp.

I get around it by deleting the www and ftp entries in the hosts list, you might delete the mail entry.  Then, I explicitly put in new entries for the external servers I need, ie www --> aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.  You could do the same with the mail, perhaps.

Secondly, as mail exhangers lood for MX records, you need to make sure that the name servers list your correct mail server IP address.

Good luck.

Hi
Thank you but it didn't work. Mabey i do something not right.
Can you tell me more like where witch files etc etc.
I think i did it right but i get email i send to test back with there is no mailbox for this user or the other error is i can't find it in my locals file.

Or do someone knows how to configure qmail to send mail true a smtp server from my isp?

I'm using version 4.1.2
