If this is just for mail, why not run another instance of sendmail to 
accept and forward between connections so you get logging and a little 
more control of what is forwarded?  If you want fairly complete control 
you can run something like MimeDefang as a milter and examine it any way 
you want before accepting.  You could run this instance on a different 
host or bind it to a different IP address and/or port and perhaps 
require an ssl connection with authentication to connect.
