in addition to use (before mentioned) 'SMART_HOST' for relaying entire
mails to this host, when You want relay only mails for some destination
domains to smtp.auth.orange-business.com:587, You can perhaps define
own mailer, some kind as (it is same as esmtp mailer):

MAILER_DEFINITIONS
Mmy587, P=[IPC], F=mDFMuXa, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP,
	E=\r\n, L=990, T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP, A=TCP $h 587

at end of Your sendmail.mc. And then use mailertable for definition
for which domains will be this mailer used as:

.cat.be:	my587:smtp.auth.orange-business.com

(and define proper authentication information in access map or with
FEATURE(`authinfo') in separate map)
