Mail server misconfigured?

Hi,

I have a local mail server set up to email users when their particular
task on a larger system has been completed.

For users within our domain, it works fine, however when users outside
of our domain are emailed, the email is routed through another mail
server within our domain.  I always get messages such as the following
back.  

I'm not an expect with mail systems (and I honestly haven't done a lot
of research into it) so I'm guessing that my mail server is not
configured correctly.  I need to reconfigure it to connect to the
appropriate destination mail server (if possible) to deliver mail.  

Can anyone provide any guidance?  Thanks,

Ryan
