Your tcpserver invocation or your cdb file are incorrect. One subtle
way for the cdb to be incorrect is if the system you want to allow
relaying for doesn't actually send from the IP you expected it do (and
configured into qmail-cmtpd.cdb).
Remember how this works -- rcpthosts lists systems you will accept
SMTP mail for, and thus restricts relaying. Setting RELAYCLIENT
(typically via tcpserver) *allows* relaying for that particular
client. Your symptoms show that the relay *prevention* is working,
but the next step of *allowing* relaying selectively based on IP is
NOT working. So that's where to concentrate your investigative
effort.
