On my Slackware 9.0 system, I changed 2 lines in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
and /etc/mail/submit.cf which might do what you are looking for.  In
both files, look for a line like the following:

Dj$w.Foo.COM

and change them to reflect your ISP.  For example, my ISP is
sunset.net, and the following line put into both files works for me:

Djsunset.net

The next pair of lines to modify look as follows:

DS

The smart host my ISP provides is smtp.sunset.net, so the lines now
appear as follows in both files:

DSsmtp.sunset.net

Naturally, you will have to adjust these values to match the ISP in
question.  I hope this helps, and have a _great_ day!
