Edit /etc/aliases (you may need to run newaliases after) to forward your 
mail to the exchange server.

I don't remember how strict Sendmail is configured if you are using that 
(I prefer Postfix) - on OpenBSD default sendmail will only send mail to 
localhost. So, you may need to change the config - don't ask me how :-)

Cheers, Erik
