You can always use the "mailertable" feature and put something like .foo.bar smtp:smtpgateway.foo.bar in your mailertable. Then sendmail will send all mail to <anything>.foo.bar via smtp to smtpgateway.foo.bar. The sticky part is the triggering of outgoing mail by the exchange server... smtp isn't really made for BS like that (IMHO typical Microsoft behaviour... raping standards they didn't invent...). I don't know if there is a canonical solution for this. At work (the powers to be decreed that we _have_ to use exchange for smtp-mail) I solved this by using a small FBSD mailhandler. It gets mail from our ISP by uucp and send it by LAN to the exchange server by smtp...
