you can specify a smart host in sendmail.mc (or the mc-file created
for your host). The macro you need is already in there, you just need

dnl Dialup users should uncomment and define this appropriately
define(`SMART_HOST', `your.relay.host')

a relay. The host won't be able to receive mails, though:

FEATURE(`nullclient',`your.relay.host')
