Take out the SmtpConfig lines, empty your smtprelay.tab file, that should secure your smtp server. Pop before SMTP auth is on by default so if you are testing for open relay that is probably why you think it's open, it's not. Have someone without an account try to use your server as a relay to a domain you don't handle and it won't work. Or turn off EnableAuthSMTP-POP3 and then test by turning on and off sending authentication in your e-mail program and send messages to external domains. From server.tab section in manual:
[EnableAuthSMTP-POP3] Enable SMTP after POP3 authentication ( default on ).
