It is the mail transport agent (MTA) that decides what to do with your outgoing mail and how. What MTA do you use? I use Exim and based on Raul's post, he is doing exactly what you want to do as I am also. It can also be done with sendmail though I don't currently use it anymore, I would be hard pressed to find the original configurations I used for that one. If you are using Exim (commonly used on Debian systems), I could send you my exim.conf file which uses a "smart_host" routine to send all mail to a single host. I also have another rule in there that strips off the local machine name so all my mail only shows the top two levels of my address - holmesgrown.com. Without the stripping, my mail would always show something like lnx1.holmesgrown.com and this seems to screw up my mailing list subscriptions. I want all replies to my mail to be holmesgrown.com, not lnx1.holmesgrown.com. Anyway, if interested, I can send you what I currently use for Exim. It seems like all these MTA's have complex configurations that warrant considerable study to understand them fully.
