Never setup sendmail myself but google talks about: makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access Did you do it?

Rebuilding access.db gets done by typing "make" in the /etc/mail directory. It has been done.

ok - going crazy I made a copy of my access file, and removed everything execpt localhost. restart sendmail of course. re-tried the abuse.net/relay.html site and it did not relay....

So then something in the file must be the issue. I put everything back as it was, restart and tried again. it relayed.

I then commented the line: 192.168.1 RELAY

and restarted and retried. It did not relay.

I thought this line was a wildcard for anything 192.168.1.X - not open the world for relaying.
