If you aren't opposed to using Postfix, I'd recommend that as the
configuration makes more sense than Sendmail IMO.  In Postfix, you'd
just add a line that says:

	relayhost = [IP or FQDN of relay host]

In fact, that is already in the shipped main.cf just commented out (very
verbose default config file).

A *long* time ago I looked at Sendmail initially, but we use Postfix at
work so when I started to ask questions about Sendmail everyone said to
use Postfix...or to always have FQDN (and reverse) for everything, that
way it magically Just Works (TM).
