A full complete answer to this is several pages long and would require a knowledge of your setup that I just don't have. Postfix is a fast, easy to configure, linux mail server that's available for most distributions. Redhat wrote a pretty good howto (in sources below). The important directive for directing all non-local mail out of your internal server to your dedicated server is relayhost. The line would look like relayhost = drs:26 (just replace drs with name or ip of your dedicated root server).
