It should hand things to sendmail for delivery.  C5 should have a real
sendmail program configured to accept only from localhost by default.
 Do you see anything in /var/log/maillog to indicate what happens to
them?  If they go to another host, you may have to configure the
sending machine to use a domain name that can be found in DNS or it
may be rejected.  C6 should have postfix by default, but that provides
a compatible-enough sendmail program.
