with Postfix it's dead simple:

from /etc/postfix/main.cf

# INTERNET OR INTRANET

# The relayhost parameter specifies the default host to send mail to
# when no entry is matched in the optional transport(5) table. When
# no relayhost is given, mail is routed directly to the destination.
# 
# On an intranet, specify the organizational domain name. If your
# internal DNS uses no MX records, specify the name of the intranet
# gateway host instead.
# 
# In the case of SMTP, specify a domain, host, host:port, [host]:port,
# [address] or [address]:port; the form [host] turns off MX lookups.
# 
# If you're connected via UUCP, see also the default_transport
# parameter.
# 
#relayhost = $mydomain
#relayhost = gateway.my.domain
#relayhost = uucphost
relayhost = [address of ISP smtp]

but I like Keith's idea of a nice light thang if that's all yer usin' it
fer...
