Have you configured your MTA (mail transport agent, such as sendmail if
you're using RHL's default)?  It looks like it's refusing connections. 
Maybe you need to allow external connections to sendmail?  This could be
fixed by editing /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and regenerating sendmail.cf  --
there is a comment in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc that tells you what to do.
