The place to start is the log files on the server/s.
Go into Webmin -> System -> System Logs. Click the View button to the right of File: /var/log/mail.log (and potentially also the other mail logs there, too).
If you see something strange and want to post the logs here, please place them in code tags so it's easy for everyone to read (see the "More information about text formats" link under the reply box).
Hi there, thanks alot for the reply. So the email that I sometimes get, I realized that it's because Google(gmail) is rejecting aol and yahoo emails, here is the error message. Any ideas how to fix?

The other one that i have never received, i am wondering if the server is trying to deliver the email locally? ON a cpanel server i remember having to put the domain in a file on the server that tells the mail server that it's an external domain, is there something similar for virtualmin?
If I understand correctly, these emails are forwarded by forms on your subsite.
Email forwarding is hard these days. The issue is that forwarding usually preserves the sender envelope. That means the receiving server thinks -you- are sending the mail and effectively claiming to be someone you are not. The receiving server's spam checks kick in and what you see is the result.
What you need to do is change from forwarding to remailing. You have an adventure ahead of you.
Try these:

Yea take care of forwarding and for all when webforms.
You could come on backscatter and other spamlist because of that.
I had one User using form with wrong settings (for the from he used other domain on other server and then forwarded these form mails to that server so the server ip is f.cked...up )
That user say , no i'm keep doing it this way nothing wrong with it, i closed email function for him, that is also not easy for users that using webform php on virtual-server, while seems to keep working even if user has disable mail, but that should be new topic then. ;) BOUNCESSSSSSSSSSSS
Some are ................ about SRS scheme while it is not supported well, and also hmm don't like such important problems and discussion that takes ages to solve real live problems as SPF / dmarc and forwarding.
