Define box B as the smart host in box A's /etc/mail/`hostname`.mc:

    define(`SMART_HOST', `boxb.your.dom.ain')

If `hostname`.mc doesn't exist, typing 'make' in /etc/mail will
generate a default version.  After editing that file, simply:

    cd /etc/mail
    make install restart-mta

to generate the modified sendmail.cf and load it into the sendmail MTA
process.

Simple enough for you?

	Cheers,

	Matthew
