how are you controlling your RELAYING feature then  ?

yes i did all that  --
makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access

and have restart mailscanner ( or only just sendmail ) but the output is 
same

where as - if i do check the option in my mail client to AUTH SMPT - then it 
verifies and works fine

the PROBLEM is - why is it not blocking those who are not AUTHORIZING  !!!

its like an OPEN RELAY - with out it
