If you are using redhat you can specify who will deliver the local mail
by specifying it in the linuxconf, the Mail server = your machine,
and Mail gateway = your smart host.

or

edit sendmail.cf, in the following lines:

# Smart host
DS202.54.1.68  #add your smart host.
# Use this mailer to reach the Smart host
DNsmtp

# Central host for local mail
DHmachine.for.local.delivery

Ensure that your host for local mail exists in /etc/hosts.
