are you using a registered domain name?
 if so is it hosted and do you control the dns?
 are you fetching mail form an outside mailbox? and are your alias set to distribute mail.
try login into webmail and send an e-mail to your self or another user to test wether the local host is working.

I use a registered domaine name www.jr-web.dk

It is hosted by jth.net and they are controlling DNS

No i'm not fetching mail from an ouside mailbox, and i don't know how my alias is set by jth.net

Whem im using webmail i can sent mail to myself and to others locally on my mailserver and i can send mail out to the internet.

I suspect that mail being sent to you is delieverd to a mailbox via your dns host and not directly to your sever. ?
ask jth.net to set dns records to send mail to mail.jr-web.dk
unfortunatly I can read jth.nets page to see what services they are providing but if you can access your dns record you should be able to point the mail to your ervice,
I had this problem with uk2.net

I'm faceing the same problem. I'm using dyndns.dk

I wonder why the mail is delivered to the server, but not to the users mailbox ??
How can this be a DNS problem ?
