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.

I guess I just didnt wait long enough... it still eventually came back and said the same thing. "You are relaying." I thought really really long delay meant it wasnt doing it.
So I'm still stuck.

I have removed everything in the access file - re-ran the abuse test site and it passed at this time with no relays. So Something in the access file was messing things up.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Why don't you use postfix or some other exim?

If your NAT'ting these through the firewall, then the world will be coming in on 192.168.1...
Have an internal email relay for outbound and add that sever's ip address to the table instead of the wildcard.
