If it wasn't for the need to expand aliases locally, you could just
use:

	FEATURE(`msp', `smarthost.mydomain.com')dnl

and not run the "normal" sendmail daemon.

If the Sun MTA doesn't use port 587, try:

	FEATURE(`msp',`[127.0.0.1]',`MSA')dnl

in submit.mc and:

	FEATURE(`no_default_msa')dnl
	DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E')dnl

in sendmail.mc.

This should force the MSP to send to port 587, and the main daemon to
listen *only* on port 587.

The cf files don't provide any way to specify an arbitrary port, but
you could always modify feature/msp.m4 to allow this
(LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS needs to be set to "TCP $h <port>" when
MAILER(`local') is processed), or just modify submit.cf manually.
