Cannot mail to mail server

sunmanagers,

I am trying to forward email messages from a local account on a local
sun machine to an internal email server but have been unsuccessful thus
far and need some help. This is my first mail/sendmail adventure.

The local sun machine is an E450 (4x400mhz CPUs, 3GB memory).
The internal email server is a Windows 2000 Exchange server. I cannot
confirm that the email is reaching the w2k-exchange server.

I have tried creating a ~joe/.forward file. This forwards the mail to
other local accounts (oracle, root, etc.) but not for the email
accounts on the email server (joe@foo.com). Setting up aliases in the
/etc/aliases file (and running newaliases) is also successful with the
local accounts but not with the email server accounts.

I would assume that the configuration file needs a change before the
E450 can forward the email to the w2k-exchange server. I don't know
how to do this and haven't found anything that explains the process in
a way that I can understand.

Running mail -x -1 joe < test.txt created a log file (MLDBGsxaiyU).
Here are the contents

main(): debugging level == 1
main(): trace file ='/tmp/MLDBGsxaiyU': kept on success or failure.
sendmail(): entered
new_reciplist(): entered
add_recip(): 'joe@foo.com' added to recipient list
pushlist(): hdrtype = 8/From , contflg = 0, saved value = 'root Tue Nov
12 16:21
 EST 2002'
sendmail(): header scan complete, readahead 46 = "this is a test of
joe@foo.com email ID
"
pushlist(): hdrtype = 4/Content-Type:, contflg = 0, saved value = ''
pushlist(): hdrtype = 3/Content-Length:, contflg = 0, saved value = ''
sendmail(): header out completed
sendmail(): body copy complete, count 46
done(): maxerr set to 0
done(): temp file removed

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
