You want to configure the three smtp servers to use your appliance as a smarthost.
If you're building your config files using m4 you will want to add (or change) the following line in sendmail.mc (located in /etc/mail in RHEL)
define(`SMART_HOST',`your.appliance.hostname')
If you are just tuning the config files by hand (*shudder*) then you'll want to change the 'DS' directive in sendmail.cf (located in /etc on RHEL) i.e.
DSyour.appliance.hostname
You will then, of course, configure the appliance to deliver mail to the final destination server in whatever way the vendor recommends.
