UNIX can't send mail out

I had the mail program on my UNIX server sending mail through my Exchange server but I had to stop routing through Exchange due to a mail relay problem. I tried to enter the IP address of the UNIX server into the Routing Restrictions table in Exchange so that it would be the only computer allowed to route through but it will not send through. So I tried to use the SMTP address of our host to relay the mail but it will not send there either. I checked the router and there are no restrictions that would disallow SMTP traffic out so there should be no problem but it still will not work. I checked the gateway and that is correct. I can not figure this out.
Is there some way to check where the mail is being stopped?
Is there a simple solution to this that I am missing?

Try this: change the old-fashioned UNIX server, to a W2K Server.

Please, people, try to understand that "command line" servers are old and ugly, further more in a short period (like it or not) they will disappear.
