Look at your mail server config on the host you're running 'mail' on and
make sure it's using the correct smarthost (usually your ISP's mail
server) or is configured to send mail directly. Many distros provide
useful tools for checking this.
Read the mail server logs.
Use 'mailq' to see if you've got frozen messages in the queue, and if so
use the server logs to determine why they're underliverable.
