mail not working with company id
Hi,

I have a fresh new installation of red hat linux. I am trying to send an email from the "mail" utility from inside my Linux box to my company id "xxx@company.com". We are using microsoft exchange server online version to host our company's email.

I am able to send emails to gmail and yahoo but not to my company id. What do you think could be going wrong? Is it something like I dont have SMTP host defined for my company id?

Thanks for your help..
Pri.

Update: so I just ran exim in debugging mode and attached below are the results of that.....our email is hosted on "Smtp.mail.microsoftonline.com"

Where do I need to specify that the rmail or mail utility or even exim has to use that when sending mails outside of the local machine.
