What are the other changes that i should do to send mails?

try sending mail with a mail client like thunderbird
and see if that succeeds or fails
if that also fails it could give a clue about whats happening

Do you actually have host exchgserver.tes t.com? What happens if you try
to ping it from your command line?

When I try to ping that server it says "Request Time out"
I've configured my outlook with this server and I'm using it to send
and receive mails.

<?php
//change this to your email.
$to = "raj@yahoo.com" ;
$from = "raj@test.c om";
$subject = "Hello! This is HTML email";
//begin message
$message = <<<EOF
<html>
<body bgcolor="#DCEEF C">
<center>
Looool!!! I am reciving HTML email......</b 
Tha nks!</font 
<a href="http://www.gmail.com/">Gmail</a>
</center>
 *** Now you Can send HTML Email through PHP 
Regards Raje n
</body>
</html>
EOF;
//end of message
$headers = "From: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$to = "$to, $from"; // this will send to both emails at the same
time.
// now lets send the email.
$mail_sent = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
?>
That is the php script which i copied from phpfreaks.com

A lousy script - html email should always be sent multipart - with text
and html parts. But that's beside the point.

What errors do you get? "It doesn't work" isn't very descriptive.

The fact you can't ping the server may be telling - or it may not. It's
possible the server is not available from your webserver; but it's also
possible the sysadmin has disabled icmp echo requests (I normally do).
