edit your sendmail.cf (people will say not to do this, but they're just
wimps ;))

You don't say what distro you are running. But it will probably be in
/etc/sendmail.cf or /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Find the line(s) like this

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS

and make the DS line look like this.

DSrelay.isp.com

change relay.isp.com appropriately.


Restart sendmail.
