I don't know if it's an option for you, but this is relatively easy to
achieve in javascript. You'd do something like this:

function markExternalLinks() {
  var linkCollection = document.getElementsByTagName('a');

  for(var i=0;i<linkCollection.length;i++) {
    var href = linkCollection[i].href;
    var domain = href.search('domain.tld');
    var mailto = href.search('mailto');

    if (domain == -1 && mailto == -1) {
      linkCollection[i].className = 'externalLink';
    }
  }
}

You'd just have to swap 'domain.tld' for your own domain, maybe add
another test for links like href="javascript:foo();" and set the
script up to run on page load. Of course it wouldn't work when your
visitors have javascript disabled...
