If you want the SysMailer class to send mails via a local relay server (the advisable approach) then you need to specify what the relay servers fully qualified name is (or what its IP address is). In version 3 there is a form on the Administration / Setup menu called Email Parameters. You can specify the relay server to use in there. You can also specify it manually when using the SysMailer class as follows:-
sysMailer.SMTPRelayServers().add(relayserverNameorIPstring);
If the SysMailer class doesn't have this information then the underlying Dundas mailer will attempt to deliver the message direct to the recipient's mail server by DNS look-up on their domain name. If your client machine doesn't have access to a DNS server then these lookups will fail and the message cannot be sent. Also, if the destination mail server is offline for any reason then the mail cannot be sent. That's why using a local relay server is best.

Subject: [development-axapta] Re: sending of emails without using outlook
Hi Jens,
I tested it on a client without Outlook (only outlook express which
is installed on installation of IE) - Axapta asked be to
install "dundamailer" on this client.
After installation same error-message was shown...
Best regards,
Elia
