Summary....

After making sure sendmail is not running, I added the following two lines
to /usr/lib/mail/cf/main.cf

FEATURE(`no_default_msa')dnl
DAEMON_OPTIONS(``Port=smtp, Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA'')dnl

Then I recompiled (/usr/ccs/bin/make) and changed the DS macro in the newly
created main.cf to point to my mail relay.  And finally I copied the new
main.cf to /etc/mail/submit.cf.
