I suppose your MTA (exim) is not correctly configured. How this has to be done depends so much on your network and its configuration that it is not possible to give some generalized answer.
Please answer specific questions and we can answer specifically.
In the meantime you might be interested in a
little introduction about how the mail system works in general i wrote a few days ago.
I hope this helps.

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.
