Cant send mail but can receive mail server problem

I have a mail server working at home and cant seem to be able to send mail. Clients can send mail to one another and the mail accounts can receive mail from external email addresses. Any ideas to getting it working?

Have forwarded ports and pointed mx records to public wan on router

Domain is Fibrecommsdata.co.uk

Its all working now. Mail is sending and receiving. It was something to do with the registrar DNS.
