Your mail server is apparently configured not to allow anyone to use it
to forward SMTP mail to other systems. Can allow local users to do so
by modifying the relay_domains setting to include the local machine:
relay_domains = localhost : whatever_else_you_call_your_box
(If you call your machine anything other than localhost, you probably
ought to list that).

There aren't any error messages from this because mail sends mail using
the /usr/lib/sendmail program rather than using SMTP.
