As said in other replies, make sure thatthat is all on one
line, or use a \ on the first line to continue to the second line.
Also, check your various log files to see if there's a problem
(aka missing qmaild user, etc..)..
Another test is to try telnet'ing into port 25 and see if you
get the SMTP banner, or if it drops your connection...
About the relaying... wrong... the default configuration
sets-up /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts. As long as rcpthosts is there,
relaying is controlled... if you rm'd this file, then you opened
yourself up... read the FAQ....
