Even though mail doesnt give you a detailed error, you can actually
see what the problem is yourself by going through somewhat of a back
door... do the following:
Open a terminal window:
type:
telnet yoursmtpaddress 25
mail from: email@hidden
mail to: email@hidden
you should then see an error message saying relaying denied,
authentication required, etc.
I suspect it's a relaying error if you can send to local accounts,
but the above will tell you exactly. in the "mail to:" section
above, try using a local address and then try using an external
address and see the difference.

tried other
solutions talked about on this list, but nothing has worked. Was
hoping
Tiger and Mail.app would finally solve the problems, but it hasn't.
Anyway, like everyone else, we're migrating to active directory.
We're only
partially there. We still have our Exchange 5.5 server, and will
for the
foreseeable future.
I can set up Mail to retrieve my email from my Exchange account (as an
exchange account) no problem (although syncing is terribly slow),
but I
can't send any email outside of my building. I can send email
within my
building fine, but not outside the building, not even to .mil
addresses.
Same thing happens if I set it up as an IMAP account.
My Exchange admin (who is always helpful, but just can't figure
this out)
says that I need no authentication to send email. When I had
Panther and
Mail, and before we began the AD migration, I used to get an error
message
that relaying was prohibited. My admin said he allowed relaying for me
specifically, and it still didn't work. Still got the same error
message.
Now I just get a very generic error message that doesn't really say
anything
other than I can't send the email (not helpful!).
I've also tried to set up AKO as my SMTP server, that hasn't worked
either.
Any ideas out there? Anyone have any idea what my Exchange admin
might be
missing?
Any help/suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
