There are three macros that point to your "mail relay" host:
DY<name-of-host>.domain.name
DB<name-of-host>.domain.name
DS # 'smart' relay host - may be null
DG<name-of-host>.domain.name
Thus, if my workstation is gh.well.com and my mail relay is mh.well.com,
the macro in /etc/sendmail.cf would read
# UUCP relay host
DYmh.well.com.
CPUUCP
# BITNET relay host
DBmh.well.com.
CPBITNET
Further on in sendmail.cf, you'll find another macro 'DG':
# gateway out of our domain
DGmh.well.com.
Change all three 'gateway' macros... They should do what you want...
Also, if you want to 'hack' the sendmail source, take a look at main.c
and headers.c ... You'll probably have more luck with headers.c ...
