You need to authenticate yourself to that SMTP server using TLS, because
it doesn't allow you to relay mail to outside users otherwise (this is a
good thing).  Look at these instructions:

On Windows, you may have a hard time setting things up.  I know this
works on GNU/Linux, MacOS X, and other Unix systems.
