Two things: You need to create an A record for mailserver01.abc.com. Did you use private IP addresses for your records? If so, your hosts will be accessible only in your LAN, not from outside.
hay falko thanks for ur reply ok i create A record for mailserver01.abc.com. Yes i know that my hosts are accessible only from inside not from out the LAN. i want to access them outside the LAN. i have a mail.abc.com. from domain providers also so how i will do that Guide me pls
You must point your DNS records to your router's public IP address and configure your router to forward all needed ports (like 25 for SMTP, 80 for HTTP, 110 for POP3) to your internal servers.
