Hmm.
What I would do is write a small smtp forwarder in perl using some
of the Mail:: packages. Basically, it would be something that took
things from stdin and sent them out via SMTP to your other host. Once
that command was working, just replace the sendmail command in the
majordomo config to use your new command.
The only thing that you would have to watch out for is that your
new command respected the -f option (or something like it) and that
your real smtphost is willing to do the relaying from this.
It shouldn't be more than a couple lines of perl to do it. But
it is not something that I could do off the top of my head.
