Fails for all external domain?
If not, might someone have added a SP record, and failed to include this
server in the list of approved servers, and thus that server is rejected for
those external domains that have also configured SPF?

If all, firewall issues?
Can you for example manually telnet to a remote host on port 25 (SMTP)?

telnet.exe <remote host> 25
helo
mail from:user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
rcpt to:user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
data
Hello.
This is a test

Hi, we have a network with 4 sites, a parnet & 3 child domains, all worked
fine, until, 2 weeks agon, when one of the child domains, began to fail on
sending emails, while the others didn't face any problems, also what more
puzzling is that it can send & recieve emails from local users, but send
only
to local user & not outside.

it was working & nothing changed, i tried smtpdiag.exe & everything looks
fine, can any body help, please, thanks
