 Sendmail has only one config file, not several dozen :)   It's a simple matter
 of editing sendmail.cf to put
 
 DS your.isps.smtp.server

 or better still, put 
 define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isps.smtp.server')
 in sendmail.mc and regenerate sendmail.cf using m4
 
 Here we go again ... http://www.hserus.net/pop_smtp.html has a set of howtos
 (only sendmail and postfix right now, exim and qmail coming right up).

 Ouch, don't do that.  Just take sendmail out of daemon mode (remove the -bd
 flag from the startup scripts).
