I have an internal webserver setup on my lan. I setup some forms on the internal website that are e-mailed to a certain user. The internal webserver is running sendmail. I want the internal webserver/sendmail to forward all mail to my real (external) mail server. How can i do this?

Send Main to External Sendmail

You can edit the virtusertable and have all mail for a user go to an e-mail address. It would look something like this:
username you@otherdomain.com
Either column can be a user name, a domain or e-mail address. Using just the username assumes it is local so you don't need to add the @yourdomain.com.

In addition to RhythmAce's advice, another option could be using DS variable in Sendmail.cf file to relay mails to the external mail server so that they can go out of ur network

if you have a real account (unix login)on the send mail
server you can create a .forward file in your home directory and include the external email address in that file on the 1st line. when the unix account gets an email it will forward it to the external address.
