trying to answer q2 because q1 was too complicated :-)
edit /etc/mail/submit.cf and change
D{MTAHost}[localhost]
to
D{MTAHost}[<global mail server>]
restart sendmail. this is untested, so let me know if it works
for you.
because relaying over <global mail server> is only permitted
after a successfull pop login, use fetchmail just before sending
the mail:
fetchmail -c -p pop3 -u <your username> <global mail server>
hth,
toni
