Probably not (at least I do not know how to do it ;-) ).  But then I
believe that you can configure sendmail to direct all of your outgoing
mail via some external server.  Take a look at /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
and change the line 

dnl define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.your.provider')

to suit your setting.  I have never tried it but it should work.
Don't forget to regenerate sendmail.cf afterwards (make in /etc/mail
should do on newer distributions, if not follow the documentation) and
restart sendmail.

Hope this helps,
Stefan
