This is correct. Sendmail "is the relay". You don't need another
sendmail server inside your domain to send to. If you have sendmail
installed you can send mail to the other SMTP servers which is what
you're trying to do. I believe Postfix is the same deal.
Also you don't need the "Server" version of OS X to do any of this. A
standard OS X installation has everything needed to at worst be able to
install an SMTP server and run it.

Having had a quick look at sendmail (search for 'sendmail' in google

directly to destination hosts. That being the case, if you set it up
correctly with relaying turned off (to ensure that no one ELSE can
send mail
via your machine) you should be able to use it to send mail wherever
you
want.
You will also find some info on how to switch it on (and a couple of
useful
tips) in the Mac OS X Server 'Mac Help' in the Finder.
That way you won't have to go via your local mail server behind the
firewall
at all. However I have no idea what kind of interface it has to tell
you
whether it has sent the mail/ if it was able to send it directly etc.

Yes, Jonathan is right, you will need access to an SMTP server.

relay too (with the OS X mail server).
Actually, now that you mention it, you may be able to just use the
SMTP
server of your ISP.
Exactly. If they are using an ISP to forward mail through the ISP's
SMTP
server. They may not be, Mdaemon for example will send directly to
the
receiving domain's own mail server if possible. I don't know how
many mail
servers do that, but I know some definitely do not and would need to
relay
the mail through a legitimate SMTP server (of an ISP usually).
