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
MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NDBM NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS
NISPLUS PIPELINING SCANF STARTTLS TCPWRAPPERS USERDB

(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?

SmilieRegards,

local.users(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual						    local.users(4)

NAME
local.users - Specifies mail recipients on the local host. DESCRIPTION
The local.users file contains a list of user names whose mail is to be delivered to the local host and whose return address is user- name@hostname. Entries in the local.hosts file are in addition to other local users (such as root and postmaster). See sendmail.cf(4) for a description of other local users. You can add entries to this file if the host is configured as a simple client and either of the following is true: The user wants their mail delivered on this machine rather than being forwarded to the mail server. You are adding aliases to the /var/adm/sendmail/aliases file. When the host is configured as a simple client, the alias must be added to this file and the aliases file. A simple client is defined as a host that had the mail system configured using the MailConfig application from the System Management utili- ties or configured using the mailsetup utility's Quick Setup menu. The format of the file is as follows: User names are separated by blanks or new lines. Multiple user name can be specified on a line. Blank lines are ignored. A comment mark (#) ends the line. After modifying the local.users file, you must restart the sendmail daemon to apply the changes. Use the following command: # /sbin/init.d/sendmail restart EXAMPLES
root postmaster rw # A comment followed by an ignored blank line. # Another comment. mariah # Another comment. carey # Leading blanks are acceptable. FILES
Specifies the path name for the file. RELATED INFORMATION
Files: sendmail.cf(4). delim off local.users(4)
