Emails not working

[Muhammad UmarH]

Hi,

We have switched off DNS however when trying to send an email to an external domain name the server is trying to send it internally.

Please help, no emails are being sent from server so why is it trying to send mail internally hence the error:
cannot chdir to mailname dir jonl

See output from mail log below,[email protected] is external to this server:

I have solved the issue myself, since no one replied.
This was an issue with the firewall, tcp ports POP3 and IMAP were blocking the emails.
