Yes, Jonathan is right, you will need access to an SMTP server. If you have
OS X Server, you should be able to switch on the mail server but you will
still have to configure it to send mail to a relay - it has to have some way
of passing it on. Unless it sends mail directly to other servers, I haven't
used it so I'm not sure. If your mail server behind the firewall is
configured to forward mail to a relay, then you should be able to use that
relay too (with the OS X mail server). The easiest way of course is to open
a port on the firewall to give it access to the mail server behind it. Is
there a reason why this is not already so? Perhaps you are not permitted to
access and send mail via that server from outside the network?

David.
