Hi,
Did you install and configure an MTA, such as postfix or exim?  Arch
doesn't install one by default.  Don't forget to add it to the DAEMONS
array in /etc/rc.conf.  Yes, I forget this quite often.
Once you have it installed and configured, just
telnet localhost 25
to know whether it is up and running.  Type quit to disconnect.

Good luck!
