most mobiles that can send email support SMTP AUTH, better use that.

You either add it to relay-domains *or* to access.db. With access.db you 
have to recompile access, with relay-domains you don't. And the syntax is 
slightly different. I personally prefer to use relay-domains. It's 
somewhat "cleaner". I reserve access.db for reject/acceptance of mail.
As you have proven to yourself that relay-domains *works* (with your 
mobile phone users) it's obvious that you did something wrong when adding 
this new entry. And I think it's this:
