sendmail relays

I have some stupid sendmail questions. Thanks in advance to any help here.

I have a 3.2a system set up and I'm able to send mail out to the internet via a
corp mail gateway. When I did a mailsetup, I did NOT specify a relay machine.
I used mailx -v a while ago, and watched my sendmail connect to a machine, do
the greeting thing, and then pass the message on. The machine my sendmail
connected to doesn't seem to be defined anywhere on my system. I can nslookup
this relay machine, but I can't find anywhere that it's defined as the place to
forward my mail. I don't know much about sendmail and SMTP. Is there a place
where this information is defined?

thanks again,
dan
