Why don't you just set up sendmail on your host so that it forwards
mail with unknown (to it) destinations to your gateway?  You should
be able to just set up a smart host (DS macro, IIRC) for this.  You
may also want to masquerade your sending address (DM macro) so
your return address makes sense to the outside world.
