Configuring and troubleshooting sendmail is not a trivial task. There's a forum for that subject here as well. The first thing you need to determine if is your system is running sendmail or MMDF. MMDF was the default in 5.0.5.
It might be easier to configure your PC to grab the mail off the SCO box using POP3 than it will be to configure the SCO box to forward outbound mail to another system.
