Unable to send email to the outside world

Hi all,
Iam unable to send mail from my unix machine(solaris x86,version 5.10) to the outside world.

I can able to access the internet,but not able to send to any yahoo or company email id.

Before posting this,i have searched this forum many times,but could not get the results what i needed.Given below are the details for your reference.Kindly help me out.

Error Details:
When i put mail,mailx or send mail iam getting the below error message:

For example:

# /usr/lib/sendmail -v <yahoo mail id>

WARNING: local host name (Jaya) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I?
Jul 26 09:37:15 Jaya sendmail[1181]: [ID 702911 mail.alert] unable to qualify my own domain name (Jaya) -- using short name

Sendmail version & other Details:

# /usr/lib/sendmail -d0.1 -bt < /dev/null

Version 8.13.8+Sun
Compiled with: DNSMAP LDAPMAP LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8

(subdomain name) $m = <null>
(node name) $k = Jaya
========================================================
WARNING: local host name (Jaya) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I?
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>

Note:

I did not configure my machine as a DNS server but configured as DNS client.Is it necessary to configure a DNS server inorder to send email?or is it possible to make my machine itself as a mail server to send email?

CALIBRE-SMTP(1) 						      calibre							   CALIBRE-SMTP(1)

NAME

       calibre-smtp - part of calibre

SYNOPSIS

       calibre-smtp  [options] [from to text]

DESCRIPTION

       Send  mail using the SMTP protocol. calibre-smtp has two modes of operation. In the compose mode you specify from to and text and these are
       used to build and send an email message. In the filter mode, calibre-smtp reads a complete email message from STDIN and sends it.

       text is the body of the email message.  If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from STDIN.  from is the  email  address
       of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP
       negotiation, the message headers are not modified.

       Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks.

       --version
