mailx/sendmail configuration/set up problem

Hello Good People of Linux World!!!

Background: Recent Networking Graduate, thrown in line of fire.

For the past couple of days I have been searching online for answers and haven't gotten anywhere regarding Mailx, Sendmail functionality on SunOS 5.9.

My dilemma:
Mailx / sendmail are not sending emails (not inside or outside our network).

Machine:

Code:

SunOS tmusid01 5.9 Generic_118559-11 i86pc i386 i86pc

Tried:

Code:

 echo "3PM" | mailx -s "Subject3PM" murtuza@live.ca

and it doesn't show any errors or such at that time.
But then, I get this email after a while

Code:

What does this mean?
