Email forwarding not working :(

[FarhanU]

I am using plesk 11 and here is my problem.

I have a situation when forwarding from postfix mail server to yahoo,gmail,aol,icloud and many others forwarded email delivery to major ESP stopped at once though it works for my company email and the emails that are not being forwarded like if i send direct email to gmail or yahoo or one of the ESP that are not working with forwarding. The telnet is working and trace route is also working fine to the IPs of the email servers that are blocking forwarded emails. What about forwarded email could be different?

In mail Queue

What could be the reason when forward mail is in the queue, it gets connection timeout and rest of the emails are working fine. How postfix handles the forwarded emails?

Perhaps you sent the email in postfix from other Ip. How many IP's have your server?

perhaps in the /etc/postfix/master.cf file is the solutions. Postfix send email from IP that this subscriptions.

I have other IPs but MX of all the domains is set to this server shared IP. I have other IPs but they are being used for the SSL. The shared IP is working working fine for all the emails but when it comes to forwarded emails it fails to forward the emails as i mentioned in the my first post.
