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!

forward

FORWARD(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual							FORWARD(5)

NAME

     forward -- mail forwarding instructions

DESCRIPTION

     The .forward file contains a list of mail addresses or programs that the user's mail should be redirected to.  If the file is not present,
     then no mail forwarding will be done.  Mail may also be forwarded as the standard input to a program by prefixing the line with the normal
     shell pipe symbol (|).  If arguments are to be passed to the command, then the entire line should be enclosed in quotes.  For security rea-
     sons, the .forward file must be owned by the user the mail is being sent to, or by root, and the user's shell must be listed in /etc/shells.

     For example, if a .forward file contained the following lines:

	   nobody@FreeBSD.org
	   "|/usr/bin/vacation nobody"

     Mail would be forwarded to <nobody@FreeBSD.org> and to the program /usr/bin/vacation with the single argument nobody.

     If a local user address is prefixed with a backslash character, mail is delivered directly to the user's mail spool file, bypassing further
     redirection.

     For example, if user chris had a .forward file containing the following lines:

	   chris@otherhost
	   chris

     One copy of mail would be forwarded to chris@otherhost and another copy would be retained as mail for local user chris.

FILES

     $HOME/.forward  The user's forwarding instructions.
