How? Is the line in your tcp.smtp file like the following?
212.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

Well if your file tcp.smtp.cdb is not correctly written from the correct
smtp.tcp then you'll always run into trouble.
(I use the parameter -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb in the startupscript of tcpserver
for qmail-smtp)

Whenever you delete the rcpthosts file you open your host as an open relay!
Of course it doesn't complain.

IMHO it shouldn't. But I'm not too sure about that.
