DB Mail config

I am trying to setup db mail and I cannot get it to send an email. I have
enabled e-mail using the surface area configurator. I went through the db
mail setup wizard and entered all the appropiate info, but when I try to
send a test email, I get the following error in the db mail log:
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server
failure. (Sending Mail using Account 3 (2006-09-14T09:27:22). Exception
Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Failure sending mail.).
).
What could be causing this?
Thanks,What type of server are you using for Mail. Some SMTP server? Does the db
mail account have access to relay on the SMTP server. Can you ping the SMTP
server from the SQL server?
What does the event log say as far as DB mail errors?

log or the system application log.
