The first place I would look is where you mail would be passed to if it is not for a local account (i.e. on the server sending it)
You will be looking for a mail relay, but it depends what OS & version you are using as to where that is coded. It might be in /etc/sendmail.cf (or similar) or under /etc/postfix somewhere.
Can you show us what OS & version you have. We can then help check that your mail service configuration meets your needs.
Is there anything still in the mail queue? Run mailq as the superuser account
Is there any mail in the inbox of the account trying to send it (i.e. has it failed & been returned)
Kind regards,
Robin

that caused this message to be retained in the queue; it will not be present if the message is being processed for the first time. The
status characters are:
