What you want is called "mail relaying" and it's turned off by default.
Mail relaying is a dangerous thing, as you can open your machine to be
used by spammers, which is bad. Your OSX machine should be running a copy
of sendmail which should allow relaying from it's self, so you might want
to set the outbound mail server on your OSx machine to "localhost".

If that doesn't work, look in /etc/mail/access and read up on access.db
(hint: use google, search for "sendmail access.db")
