UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi all,
We've an application that is for recording our daily services to clients, and it has mailing option for sending email to any account to inform them about client requests ,but at this time the mailing part doesn't work.
So i want to know that this WS should be assigned as mail server for making this facility?

If yes what is the procedure ?
besides this i should mention that in our office we have one central mail server that's linux based and is responsible for sending/receiving our email ? is it also possible to assign that ?
Pls. advise.

you can use and sendmail API and use that in your application.
if you are using perl, search the cpan for the sendmail module. install the module in your client. and set the appropriate parameters in your application to use your linux server as the mailing server. for more info on using the API , you can search the google

If you have root on this Host box that runs the application, I would just send mail to root user and then .forward from there to your work email address.
