Mail and My Decent Into Hell

I’m a first time poster to AFP548, but a long time reader…..

I’ve recently set up my own mail server of 10.4.8 with the latest updates and such. DNS is working forwards and backwards, public and private. However, whenever I attempt to send email to my domain from a different domain, I get the following error returned:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I’m afraid I wasn’t able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I’ve given up. Sorry it didn’t work out.

:
65.71.169.5 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 554 : Relay access denied
Giving up on 65.71.169.5.

I’m not brand new to OS X Server, and I’ve set email servers up previously. But, this has the best of me and I’m considering a sacrifice to the Sun god if no one here can help.

Again, if I email someone@techvernacular.com to anyone@techvernacular.com, there is no problem. But, if I attempt someone@foo.com to anyone@techvernacular.com, I get the error bounced back to me.

Can someone please take a look at this and offer some assistance? I’ll send chocolate or booze, your choice. (Send ID if you opt for booze!)

Evidently, I can’t send outside my domain either. I tried that this evening (don’t know why I hadn’t thought to capture the logs for this previously)

This first part is the SMTP log for a message that is supposed to go outside my domain; it doesn’t.

I’m no whiz at reading logs, but why in the sam hell do I get “relay=none” on transport outside my domain and “relay=cyrus” for transport within my domain?
