It's not completely clear from your message but it appears that
you are using sendmail for your MTA?  If so then you need to
configure it to permit relaying for the senders machine. It might
be as easy as entering a domain name  in /etc/mail/relay-domains.
There are lots of approaches.  Most of them are described in the
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README under the ANTI-SPAM heading,
SMTP AUTHENTICATION heading or by following the bouncing ball at
http://www.sendmail.org

good luck
