The "relaying" part of logs would be fine.

This is quite dangerious if you defined lots of macros. An example:

OFFICE=*

would result in the above line becoming this one:
hostlist relay_hosts = DMZ1:DMZ2:*:COLO:CR:JOESOHO

change the above to:

hostlist relay_hosts = dmz1:dmz2:office:colo:cr:joesoho

This is the first point I'd think of.

Did you try telnetting to relay-test.mail-abuse.org:

telnet relay-test.mail-abuse.org

Subsequent a series of tests are run to check your relay capabilities
and report them - you'll get an idea which hole to fill then.
