Sounds like your email server is configured correctly - not allowing
just anyone to forward email outside of the domain (prevents it from
being used as a spam relay).

Generally this means you will need some kind of authentication. You'll
have to find out from your host just what is required.

Your SMTP server may not be configured to relay. Are you using
Mercury? or any other mail servers?
