How is mail sent?

[Mark Blunier <blunier@ocslink.com>]

I tried sending email by telneting to port 25 of localhost:
*************
bash-2.03$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 k7 ESMTP Exim 2.05 #1 Sat, 22 Jan 2000 14:29:40 -0600
ehlo localhost
250-k7 Hello blunier at localhost [127.0.0.1]
250-SIZE
250-PIPELINING
250 HELP
mail from:<blunier@localhost>
250 <blunier@localhost> is syntactically correct
rcpt to:<blunier@ocslink.com>
550 relaying to <blunier@ocslink.com> prohibited by administrator
************

Now I'm confused.  What does pine do with a message when I send it
out.  I thought it give it to port 25, like what I was doing
manually.
