Even though this is off topic, its fairly easy. Leave sendmail running on the Linux box (but remove any alias file entries that you might have used for local delivery), and make sure that it has an MX record with a higher preference number (lowest number is always tried first). Viola.
As long as there is a higher preference (ie lower number) MX record, sendmail will queue and forward for that domain. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
