SharePoint Designer 2010 workflows are not sending external emails

Dears,

I have created a custom work flow with SharePoint designer 2010 against a SharePoint 2010 list.. This workflow send emails to the internal users (like to the users under my company domain) but not sending to the external users like gmail, hotmail, yahoo etc.

So i need to send email to the external domains.

Do I need to do some extra configuration to enable sending external emails in SharePoint 2010 server or in our company exchange server 2010.

Please advice me.

Regards

Hi,
please verify the Sharepoint uls log.  But normally this is an issue in regards to the Exchange server configuration, which is not trusting the Sharepoint server to relay the emails to external domains/servers.
One good article
http://blog.armgasys.com/?p=164
but you may find alternative ones by googling / binging for "exchange server relay"

I tried to send email from my company email account (domain) to external emails like hotmail, gmail and yahoo etc by using Outlook then its reached to the external emails. But when i try to send through the SharePoint workflow then it shows the error.

The error log tells:
w3wp.exe (0x1DF0)
0x22A4      SharePoint Foundation
E-Mail
#160009: The e-mail address 'someone@gmail.com' is unknown.
