edit: hmmm.

my server has 4 virtual servers. and one of them connected with ip address. and others, with domain.
for example when I connect the IP address www/main/ gets my screen.

when i type xxx.com www/xxx/ directory gets to my screen.

and, when i type mail.xxx.com www/main/ directory opens again?
I think problem is this, but how can I solve this prob?

Try running this command: 

echo test | mail -s "test" your@emailaddress.com
. Do you receive the email?

Take a look at the articles Pablo linked above. Setting up an SPF record should help prevent your emails from going straight to the spambox.

This is a slight digression but, it turns out that my problem was using my client's domain name for hostname. When I changed it to one of my proven personal domains, it worked great. I assume that they have an SPF or something. In any case, if your mail.log says the messages was accepted, try changing the hostname.
