The easy solution would be to set up your ISPs mail server as a global
smtproute. Do that by putting a line in /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
that looks like this:
:mail.myisp.com
That will send all outbound mail through that server.
If you want to be a bit more spiffy and set it up to queue outbound
mail, etc. you can use serialmail to do all sorts of neat things:
