1. make sure /etc/mail/sendmail.mc includes the following line:

define(`SMART_HOST', `your.local.smtp.host')dnl

as well as whatever other configuration is necessary for your site.

2. cd /etc/mail; make sendmail.cf; service sendmail restart

p.s. it is easier to configure Postfix to do this; the instructions  
are provided in the comments of /etc/postfix/main.cf.
