What is being suggested is that you use the standard client configuration and do not attempt to directly relay all mail.
Instead you construct an alias for each non-local user in /etc/mail/aliases eg:
then type in 'newaliases' to build the alias list.
This will be relayed to the mailhost, you then do not alias the local delivery accounts such as root. Mail will then be relayed to the fully qualified name, and non relayed mail will stay local.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

newaliases - rebuild the data base for the mail aliases file
SYNOPSIS
newaliases
DESCRIPTION
newaliases rebuilds the random access data base for the mail aliases file /etc/mail/aliases.
newaliases accepts all the flags that sendmail(1M) accepts. However, most of these flags have no effect, except for the -C option and three
of the Processing Options that can be set from a configuration file with the -o option:
-C /path/to/alt/config/file Use alternate configuration file.
-oAfile Specify possible alias files.
-oLn Set the default log level to n. Defaults to 9.
-on Validate the RHS of aliases when rebuilding the aliases(4) database.
newaliases runs in verbose mode (-v option) automatically.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Running the newaliases Command
The following command runs newaliases on an alias file different from the /etc/mail/aliases default in sendmail(1M):
example% newaliases -oA/path/to/alternate/alias/file
