you keep telling us that "it doesn't work"
if it works for a while and then it stops working, there must be a reason and you likely will find it in the logs
CharlieBrady:
Despite all the advice given here, you *still* don't have the internet connected to port 25 of your SME server. There is a different mail server at altawi.com.au:
-bash-3.00$ telnet altawi.com.sa. 25
Trying 78.46.81.166...
Connected to altawi.com.sa..
Escape character is '^]'.

You currently don't have any MX records in DNS, which would direct mail to a different IP address than the A record for altawi.com.sa, which is the server hosting your web pages.
As we have told you multiple times, you need to find a mentor who understands basic IP technology, preferable one who understands your native language.

The missing part of the external DNS settings is what Charlie has advised in the previous post.
For altawi.com.sa DNS records, you need to add a MX record that points to mserver.altawi.com.sa on IP 78.93.244.61
If you add that MX record (without changing anything else as shown below), then mail for user@altawi.com.sa will be delivered to the SME server mail server at mserver.altawi.com.sa, which I understand is what you are trying to achieve.
Here are the testing results to confirm the above conclusion.
I gather the web server is at altawi.com.sa
Checking records just now for altawi.com.sa,
There is an A record which points at 78.46.81.166
There is no MX record, but as there is an A record then mail (sent to user@altawi.com.sa) should get delivered to the server at altawi.com.sa.
The problem is that this server is not accepting mail, & you want mail delivered to a different server.
A port scan shows the following ports open, 21, 22, 25, 53, 80, 110, 143, 443, 587.
Checking SMTP functionality there is something wrong, the SMTP server does not respond, I get
Connecting to 78.46.81.166
SendSMTPCommand: Timeout waiting for response after 15 seconds.
PWS3v2 17348ms
There are other warnings too, but as this is not really meant to be used as your mail server, then I assume these errors are not of significance.
Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner
SMTP TLS Warning - Does not support TLS
Now, regarding the SME server that you want to act as a mail server for altawi.com.sa
I gather the SME mail server is at
mserver.altawi.com.sa
Checking records just now for mserver.altawi.com.sa,
There is an A record which points at 78.93.244.61 so that looks OK
There is no MX record, but as there is an A record then mail (sent to user@mserver.altawi.com.sa) should get delivered, so this looks OK.
(Note that mail sent to user@altawi.com.sa will not get delivered to mserver@altawi.com.sa at present as there is no MX record at altawi.com.sa).
A port scan shows only port 25 open.
Checking SMTP functionality I get
Connecting to 78.93.244.61
220 mserver.altawi.com.sa ESMTP [1922 ms]
EHLO PWS3.mxtoolbox.com
250-altawi.com.sa Hi pws3.mxtoolbox.com [64.20.227.134]
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE 15000000
250 STARTTLS [875 ms]
MAIL FROM:<supertool@mxtoolbox.com>
250 <supertool@mxtoolbox.com>, sender OK - how exciting to get mail from you! [875 ms]
RCPT TO:<test@example.com>
550 relaying denied test@example.com [891 ms]
PWS3v2 7078ms
So please add the MX record to altawi.com.sa & mail receipt should be resolved.

Hooray you have finally configured only the one mx record for altawi.com.sa just like you were advised as far back as May 2015.
