I dunno about anything else, but your server is accepting SMTP
connections and immediately closing them (see below.) You'll need to
figure that out and fix it before you can go any further.
It would also help if you posted the FULL bounce message that the
outside user received when trying to send..
$ telnet mail.gseserver.net 25
Trying 213.155.200.101...
Connected to mail.gseserver.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
