What errors are you facing here ?

I don't know of a way to hand off an email to an outside SMTP server. If this was possible the SPAMMER knuckleheads would be in heaven. Better to figure out what's up with your own machine and get it going from there. Postfix is pretty standard and has gotten much easier to manage and troubleshoot. Heaven help you if you're a newbie trying to run SendMail
