Setting up Mail Server and User Account

Dear List,

I am having this hard time configuring the Apple Mail Server at least for one user as test, example, "postmaster" to work right.
Please, those that went thru this night and day thing please help me out there.
Here is my previous scope information: (If I missed anything, please, let me know?)

I am on the MacOSXServer 10.2.6.
The WAN DNS ip, 67.113.9.57 (alcdesigns.biz) master zone has been resolved by my ISP and there is one MX record.
In the LAN, I am behind a NAT router. The DNS for the class C Intranet with the addresses 192.168.1.0/24 has been resolved and DNS is working fine.
I will be more than happy to share with the list how I got my intranet DNS working and kicking behind my NAT firewall as soon as I resolve this mail server thing. I have this thought that I can not say anything to anyone if I haven't tested and proof that to myself that is working.

Reverse lookup intranet domain and ip works just fine.
<=========>
I created the user: "postmaster" with the prefereces pane, accounts and logged into WGM "Work Group Manager" and set its preferences as follows:
at Local:
under basic: user name "postmaster" id, password as usual.
under advanced: login shell: /bin/tcsh, using password type: Basic
under groups: Primary Group ID: 20, Short Name: staff, other groups: wheel, mail, smmsp
under Home: Advanced is checked, Server/Share Point URL: afp://192.168.1.2/Users/ Path: postmaster Home: /Users/postmaster and gave the disk quota of 5000 MB
under Mail: Checked Enabled, Mail Server: server01.alcdesigns.biz, Mail Quota: 5000MB, Mail Access: Pop only, Enable NotifyMail is checked and Use the last login IP address is checked.
<=========>
I am uncertain if I should replicate those local users, in that case the "postmaster" in /Netinfo/root.
I have nothing set on /Netinfo/root yet except the two accounts, System Administrator and the regular adminstrator, (myself)
<=========>
The Apple Mail Server is turned on and is working fine.
Under Server Status accounts it shows that the user "postmaster" exits and has his mail quote set.
<=========>
Under Server Status logs I have these logs here and I am not happy about it. How can I fix it?

May 29 2003 13:19:14 Resolver: HOST_NOT_FOUND.
May 29 2003 13:19:14 Inverse DNS lookup failed for 2.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
May 29 2003 13:19:14 ### Configuration Check ###
May 29 2003 13:19:14 The IP address 192.168.1.2 resolves to the DNS name "- Unresolved DNS name -".
May 29 2003 13:19:14 Local Delivery verification check on domain name "- Unresolved DNS name -" is in progress.
May 29 2003 13:19:14 ### WARNING ###
May 29 2003 13:19:14 The IP address 192.168.1.2 with the DNS name "- Unresolved DNS name -" is not configured for local delivery.
May 29 2003 13:19:14 All mail received for "- Unresolved DNS name -" will be processed for remote SMTP delivery.
<=========>

There is any step by step clue of what do I need to accomplish to get the Apple Mail Server working, sending and receiving mail to the user "postmaster"?

Many Thanks,
Eduardo
