how to stop spam relaying?



I have setup some anti-spamming rules in my smtp-policy files, but it
looks like someone was actually able to use my system as a spam relay:

Here are the logs:

3049#   connection from usr1-dialup51.mix1.Bloomington.mci.net ident:

3049w   221 2.0.0 gate.mcc.net Out

I have setup the following files to try to stop this:

smtp-policy.relay:
(List of IPs that can use us as an outgoing smtp server)

smtp-policy.mx:
(all of the domains that we are the mail exchanger for)

I then run $ZMAILER/bin/policy-builder.sh to create the database files,
and the policydb parameter in smtpserver.conf is set to:

PARAM  policydb   ndbm  /apps/zmailer/db/smtp-policy

According to the contents of the above files, what happened in the logs
above, should never have happened.
Am I missing something obvious?
