That sounds like the mailblocking rpm (I assume you have installed it) is rejecting the messages because the addresses they are sent to are NOT valid accounts on your sme server.
Add them as Users in server manager and try again.

I'm not sure you understand me.
I'm talking about the virtual email aliases (user addresses) that you added to the 90aliases file
eg user1@domain1, user2@domain2 etc
Have you added the usernames of user1 and user2 to the server manager User panel ?

HI,

  Thanks Ray, Only two virtual domains are fine now. These 2 domain hosting web site and the email.

  But one virtual domain having problem with sending email. I host only the web site. Email is hosting by their ISP. In MX nothing point to my server except www. but still i can't send any email to
this domain???

Title: One domain broken - mail only

Are sure the MX record is pointing to the correct (the other ) mail server?  Can you send mail to them from Yahoo/Gmail?  

If so, then I believe the problem may be that while you are behind the server hosting the "broken" domain SME's internal name server (in)correctly sees itself as the mail server for the "broken" domain, checks for the user and crashes the mail.  This is what it is doing for the domains where you are hosting www and mail, but then you want it to do that for these two.  Solution, modify the script that creates the MX record on the SME box. WARNING, difficult, I believe.

Else, the external MX record may be broken.

Else, something magic is going on.  Sit back, relax and allow cyberspace overcome you.
