This would work for me on Solaris so YMMV on RH8.
If you have a sendmail.cf try editing it and finding the DS setting. Put
the hostname you want to forward email to after this:
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSmail.example.com
This will send all your email to the smarthost. Obviously the windows
server needs to talk smtp.
If this doesn't seem OK for you on redhat try google for something like
"redhat sendmail smarthost" to configure sendmail to forward all email
to a specific server.
