Set SMART_HOST in /etc/mail/hostname.mc and then run make

If you have not run make in /etc/mail yet, do that first.  That will  
create hostname.mc  In your case that may end up being domain.pk.mc

Add a line like this

define(`SMART_HOST', `[172.16.1.1]')


using the correct IP address for the mail server.  If the mail server  
has an FQDN use that without the square brackets

define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.server.com')

Run make

That should do it.
