If you are speaking of the Sendmail MTA, you're asking on the wrong 
list. But I can save you a bit of time by advising you to look at 
setting the "smarthost" option.

If you are speaking of sendmail(1) submission in a Postfix MTA, 
there's no trivial way to distinguish how such mail is routed vs. 
other forms of submission.

If you want to route all mail from that Postfix through a different 
Postfix, it is simple:

main.cf :
relayhost = [different.postfix.hostname.or.IP]

Reference: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#relayhost

The MX records do not affect sending mail unless you configured a 
non-default setting somewhere.

These two links might help:

If you do have a Postfix issue, it usually is best to begin by 
describing the problem and goal in real, non-technical terms. Your 
followup should be made in accordance with these guidelines:
