I just spent a lot of time convincing Satyam to close their open relays
and block nntp to outside servers (because of a huge spammer / hacker
problem they had which led to their being UDP'd and blocked from usenet).

So simple - use fetchmail to check your satyam acct b4 running
/usr/sbin/sendmail (and keep the satyam entry at the end of the
.fetchmailrc file) - that is assuming that you have a valid satyam acct.
If you have an acct at another ISP, use their smtp server only and don't
use 3rd party smtp servers. Set the following flags -
o HoldExpensive=true (to queue mails)
and
DS mail.satyam.net.in (to smarthost thru satyam)
DN mail.satyam.net.in (to masquerade as satyam)
or
leave DS and DN blank and set
FallbackMXHost=mail.satyam.net.in
so yr sendmail itself sends mail and hands it to satyam if it can't
deliver on the first attempt.
