unix-mail to external websites/addresses

Hi all,

I would like to know if I can send unix mail to 'external email addresses'.

My unix server is leo@ABCcompany.com.

I am able to send emails to firstname.lastname@ABCcompany.com.

But, we have some email addresses in our team on our parent company's server - ex: firstname.lastname@ParentCompany.com. The emails to these folks are not going through.

I was wondering two things 1) can we send emails to external addresses? 2) If so, do you think I have to contact my network adminstrator so that he can change the permissions/settings so that I could send emails externally.

I have also tried sending a test email to my personal account on @yahoo.com and that email did not go through.

Please help. Thank you in advance.

NAME
PhishTag - SpamAssassin plugin for redirecting links in incoming emails. SYNOPSIS
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::PhishTag trigger_ratio 0.1 trigger_target RULE_NAME http://www.antiphishing.org/consumer_recs.html DESCRIPTION
PhishTag enables administrators to rewrite links in emails that trigger certain tests, preferably anti-phishing blacklist tests. The plugin will inhibit the blocking of a portion of the emails that trigger the test by SpamAssassin, and let them pass to the users' inbox after the rewrite. It is useful in providing training to email users about company policies and general email usage. OPTIONS
The following options can be set by modifying the configuration file. o trigger_ratio percentage_value Sets the probability in percentage that a positive test will trigger the email rewrite, e.g. 0.1 will rewrite on the average 1 in 1000 emails that match the trigger. o trigger_target RULE_NAME http_url The name of the test which would trigger the email rewrite; all the URLs will be replaced by http_url. DOWNLOAD
The source of this plugin is avaliable at: http://umut.topkara.org/PhishTag/PhishTag.pm a sample configuration file is also available: http://umut.topkara.org/PhishTag/PhishTag.cf SEE ALSO
