How do I configure Linux server to be able to send emails internally?

Hi

The script:

Code:
 
#!/bin/sh
#set -x
# set admin email so that you can get email
ADMIN="myemailaddress"
# set alert level
ALERT=4
df -HP | grep -vE '^Filesystem|tmpfs|cdrom' | awk '{ print $5 " " $1 }' | while read output;
do
  #echo $output
  usep=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $1}' | cut -d'%' -f1  )
  partition=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $2 }' )
  if [ $usep -ge $ALERT ]; then
    echo "Running out of space \"$partition $usep% used\" on $(hostname) as on $(date)" |
     mail -s "Alert:$(hostname) almost out of disk space $usep% used" $ADMIN
  fi
done

It works fine, but the emails are not being delivered. On other Linux servers with the emails configured, I get the alerts. How do I see how the oher servers are set up, or how would I set up this server to be able to send emails internally? We have a Linux smart relay and Exchange server in our Environment.

Thanks!!
