How to set up outgoing email?

One more question, that I can't find answers to either in the documentation or elsewhere.

How to set up outgoing email? I don't know what I need to do besides editing settings.py:

SERVER_EMAIL = ''
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'myname@mysite.org'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = ''
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX = '[AskBot] '
EMAIL_HOST='localhost'
EMAIL_PORT='25'
EMAIL_USE_TLS=False
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

I am using exim4 as my MTA. With the settings above, I am getting no emails, but I don't know how to find out what's wrong. Is there something I have to do with exim4? Otherwise exim4 is working fine.
