Does your firewall permits to make an connection to the Internet ?
How looks your sendmail configuration file ?
Do you have any security policy ?

Hi Venkat,

This could be any one or combination of a number of things, I'd be tempted to start with looking at the sendmail.cf file to see if the smart mail server has been set (The line begind DS).

If you can send mail internally then I'd also be tempted to ask networks if they allow outgoing mail connections.

Regards

Dave
