issue in mail command
I have used the mail command from the command line for sending mail from one machine to anther machine.

Example:

mail -s "Test" thillaselvan@xxx.co.in
Testing

But the mail is not getting received.
I have checked the logs in the following file.

tail -f /var/log/exim4/mainlog

It is logging the following message.

2011-07-21 18:07:37 1QjsVV-0001Q9-BS ** thillaiselvan@bksys.co.in R=nonlocal: Mailing to remote domains not supported

Why it is not sending the mails in this machine to other machines?.

What needs to be done?

If I checked the mail from my local machine means it is working.

Kindly guide me.
Thanks in advance!

msgchk

msgchk(1)						      General Commands Manual							 msgchk(1)

NAME

       msgchk - check for messages (only available within the message handling system, mh)

SYNOPSIS

       msgchk [-help] [-nodate] [-notify all |	|  | mail |  |	| nomail] [users ... ]

OPTIONS

       Prints a list of the valid options for this command.  Prints the date when you last read your mail. This is the default behavior of msgchk.
       The -nodate option can be used of you do not want to print this date.  Indicates under what circumstances msgchk should produce a  message.
       There  are  three  legal  values: all, mail, and nomail. The default is -notify all, which reports the status of the maildrop regardless of
       whether it has mail in it or not. The -notify mail option reports  the  status  of  the	maildrop  only	if  there  is  mail  waiting.  The
       -notify nomail  option reports the status of the maildrop only if there is no mail in it.  Specifies the source which are checked for mail.
       The only value allowed is file, which is the user's maildrop. Additional values are supported only for use with other mail systems.

DESCRIPTION

       The msgchk program checks all known mail drops for mail that is waiting for you. It displays whether you have mail waiting to  be  read	or
       not and shows the date that you last read your mail.

       You can check other user's maildrops by specifying their user names as the users argument on the command line.

RESTRICTIONS

       msgchk  does  not  understand  the  $MAILDROP  environmental variable. If mail is fetched from a location other than /usr/spool/mail/$USER,
       msgchk will not be able to determine if new mail has arrived. However, inc can still be used to fetch mail when it arrives.

       For this version, the -source option only supports the value file. Additional values are supported for use only with other mail systems.

EXAMPLES

       This example shows a user Smith checking his own maildrop: % msgchk Smith:
	   New file source mail waiting ; last read on
	   Tue, 07 Jun 1988 17:21:49 WET The next example shows a user checking the maildrops of two other local users on the  same  system,  Rabb
       and Jones: % msgchk Rabb Jones Rabb:
	   No file-source mail waiting ; last read on
	   Tue, 07 Jun 1997 13:22:25 WET Jones:
	   New file source mail waiting ; last read on
	   Tue, 07 Jun 1997 17:30:05 WET

FILES

       The user profile.  The system customization file.  The user's maildrop.
