ok by default qmail only will relay mail for localhost.
theirs a file: /etc/tcp.smtp
put in that any ip ranges you wish to relay for (eg internal users..)
and then run tcprules tcp.smtp.cdb tcp.smtp.tmp < tcp.smtp
and put -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb in your qmail startup script

- the entry in /etc/init.d/qmail on one of my debian relay boxes is:

sh -c "start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --user qmaild \
            --exec /usr/bin/tcpserver -- \
            -u `id -u qmaild` -g `id -g nobody` -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 0
smtp \
            /usr/sbin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | $logger -t qmail -p mail.notice
&"

thanks
