On second thought: If you don't intend to run an smtp _server_ something like

include(`../m4/cf.m4')
VERSIONID(`@(#)example.mc  $Revision: 1.1 $')
OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
undefine(`ALIAS_FILE')dnl
FEATURE(`nullclient',`mail.provi.der')dnl

as your sendmail.mc (see /usr/share/sendmail/cf/) would do nicely. The
resulting sendmail.cf tells sendmail to simply push any mail to the
'mail.provi.der' server.

Should fit your bill nicely.
