Hi,

To clarify for myself, are you asking:

given domains abc.com, foo.com, bar.com , and anotherdomain.com

how to use your local SMTP to send mail to abc.com and foo.com but use
an external SMTP to send mail to bar.com and anotherdomain.com?

If so, then you can use the SMART_HOST define and the confCW_FILE define
in your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file and put hosts you want processed via 
local
SMTP in the file defined in confCW_FILE define.  If you just have one domain
you want handled locally then you might also just put an entry like
Cwfoo.com in /etc/mailsendmail.cf.  Your file names may vary depending
upon you configuration.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Duane Whitty
