Hi again,

I have verified all what you have posted here and :

- I have registered the virtdomain1.com DNS name (I went to check that with 
my registrar and it's ok) and created MX and A
records for my host.

- I do have a public IP address for my host (not a private IP address)

- I have sendmail configured and already running perfectly with 6 other 
virtual domains

- My logs do not give any clues on what might happen. They are 'clean'.

- and I am currently checking if my firewall settings are not allowing 
connections to the port 25, but I doubt it because all the other virtual 
domains that I have created before are working fine.

Finally this is the email (which I have tweaked it just a bit to keep the 
privacy for my customers) that I get back when I try to send email to users 
on virtdomain1.com:

--------------------------------------
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mailrelay.someisp.atsomewhere.
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.

<[email protected]>:
Sorry, I couldn't find any host named virtdomain1.com. (#5.1.2)

--- Below this line is a copy of the message.

Ceci est un test

It still doesn't work so I write back to see if there is any solution to my 
problems.
