There are 2 ways to do this. One is to tweak your /etc/sendmail.cf
so that mail will be forwarded to your ISP's mail-relay. I can't
recall off-hand just which flags to use, but if you look in
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf, there's a whole section on using
m4 macros to config /etc/sendmail.cf.
The other way involves configuring your mail-agent (pine/mutt) so
that the SMTP server it talks to is your ISP's mail-relay (get
your ISP to detail this if you haven't got the info).
Cheers.
