The "mail" command will try to run /usr/sbin/sendmail locally to deliver the email message. "mail" is a MUA (Mail User Agent), while sendmail is a MTA (Mail Transport Agent).

If you want "mail" to deliver to a fixed relay, you can either install sendmail and configure that to do what you want, or alternatively install "ssmtp" which is specifically designed for this task. It installs itself as /usr/sbin/sendmail so that "mail" can run it as usual. I believe "ssmtp" is not included in Red Hat, but I'm sure that an RPM should be available somewhere. See here for a description of ssmtp.
