It's not relaying to accept for local delivery.  The receiving side 
needs to be configured to accept over the network (remove the 127.0.0.1 
restriction from DAEMON_OPTIONS), test by a telnet to port 25 from 
elsewhere, and it needs to know what to accept (add the name to 
local-host-names if it can't look itself up in DNS and get that name). 
Once it is receiving over the network you can track any other issues by 
the entries in /var/log/maillog.
