You should define smart host for your sendmail, if I understand your task right. The standartd way is to include define(`SMART_HOST', `smart.host') where smart.host is your mail server into the .mc file in /etc/mail (by default), recompile .cf file with new .mc source, and restart sendmail. Then your sendmail will send all outgoing mail through smart.host. You should also set up proper authentication data, if your mail server wants you to authenticate youself.
