With risk of being declared an idiot;
AFAIK, Relay Denied will happen when the SMTP client does not have
a DNS registered name, or is signalled at the SMTP server to be
OK.
So, if the Linux box has a proper global DNS name it can send mail
to any host in the world, and you need to configure SMTP to allow
for the local machines. And I believe this is the case. Could it
be /etc/hosts.allow (this newbie is not very fluent in Linux)?
