brand new installation, email doesnt queue

[bnelson]

Just completed a rather easy installation of Zimbra on Ubuntu 8.04 TLS

after installation:
I am able to recieve email from exnternal domains.
I can send email to myself.
I can't send email to any outside domain.

I checked the queue and there are nothing in them.
I verified I can ping external domains
and I verified I can telnet into domains via port 25.
any ideas on where to start?

Thanks for the help!

i should probably explain what im doing.
Im wanting to make zimbra a backup mail server as my primary mail server is exchange, so if exchange goes offline zimbra holds the mail, then when exchange goes back up, zimbra delivers it back to exchange.

There are plenty of examples on how to set-up a Backup MX server on the internet: "backup mx" postfix - Yahoo! Search Results
