what MTA are you running on the debian system, by default it will have
exim configured submit only, If you are going to be using it as a
mailhost, I would suggest replacing exim with sendmail or postfix, (or
qmail if that's your flavor)

If you are already up and running with an MTA, DNSis the first place I'd look.
