Mail Client Setup

I have a Tru64 5.1a cluster sitting behind our firewall and would like to
use our ISP's mail server to send out our emails. I have installed the
Internet Express software and have configured the SMTP client using the ISP
smtp mail server.

I have done some test using the following commands using telnet:

telnet ourinternetnode 25
HELO ourinternetnode
MAIL FROM: user@ourinternetnode
250 .. Sender OK
RCPT TO: user@someotherdomain
550 Relaying Denied

Now am I correct in assuming that this message is coming from our ISP's smtp
mail server?

I ran a quick test using Netscape on the cluster and this seem to work. I
used our ISP's mail server and our ISP's SMTP server in the configuration.
Did this work because Netscape is using pop mail?

What I'm trying to do is set up an application so that it can mail from the
cluster, but use the ISP's mail server to send out the mail. This way it
looks like it is getting sent from the ISP.

Has anyone done this using Tru64?
