This sounds like you're having problems with the local machine not being able to relay. It also sounds like you're using qmail, since you mention vpopmail.

Luckily, this problem is easy to fix in qmail. Simply do:
Code:
echo '127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""' >> /etc/tcp.smtp
tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp

qmail will now be configured to relay mail originating from the local machine.
