You don't have to configure sendmail at all for this to work, it's
entirely automatic. You just have to set up your MX records properly
(with your backup host as an MX host with a higher precedence number).
I see that seitz.com currently has a single MX record with precedence
20. You just need to add an additional MX record for the mail
backup relay with a higher precedence number, eg 30.

This question is asking if you want to deliver any additional domains
locally on this machine. That's not what you're trying to do, so don't
list seitz.com in response here.
