In the Settings area of the Admin area (i.e. the first page of the Admin 
area) there's a bit that says:
"When publishing articles, Typo can send trackbacks to websites that you 
link to. This should be disabled for private blogs as it will leak 
non-public information to sites that you're discussing. For public 
blogs, there's no real point in disabling this."
Just below this text there's a text that says "Send trackbacks" - make 
sure it's enabled. From the looks of it Typo will automatically send 
trackbacks when you link to websites in blog posts, as long as you link 
to the trackback URL, though I'm not sure as I'm new to Typo myself.

This blog post - 
http://blog.vazexqi.com/articles/2006/10/31/testing-trackback-in-typo - 
seems to support this view. He links to a trackback URL in his post and 
then edits it saying Typo automatically sent a trackback, so hopefully 
that's how it works.
