Please provide more details, either post logfile
entries that show a relayed mail or run the debug

I think I've semi-fixed this problem, I didn't know adding a domain to
local-host-names allows that host to relay, and I didn't know I had to
restart sendmail, unlike access.db
Now I've got another problem, I want to receive mail to a host but I
don't want that host to be able to relay.

The host is the backup mail server which forwards all it's mail to the
main mail server. In the main mail server I want to receive any
messages sent to the backup server but not relay any messages from the
backup server.

To:main.server  RELAY

in your access map, see cf/README.

The "To:" tag requires a recent sendmail version.
