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.
