I'm thinking smarthost?

Make your Linux-based prgram use your newly installed MS Exchange  
server to relay all your messages. I cannot recall if Red Hat (too  
lazy to google it :-)) uses the File Hierarchy Standard, but given  
the /etc/mail above I am wondering if you want to look at /etc/mail/ 
sendmail.mc

...Google time lapse...

There's redhat's KB on smarthosts.
