I thought by default, Sendmail doesn't go through TCP Wrappers. I
read somewhere that it's not recommended unless you're running a
low volume mail server. I use a quick external site to test my
anti-spam, anti-relay rules;
telnet mail-abuse.org [you have to execute this from the mailserver]
It'll run a test back to your server and connect to the sendmail port.
It'll put your computer through something like 17 different tests. The
one kink I found is that once it finds a problem, it stops the testing.
So once you fix the rule, you'll have to re-test to make sure it passes
every test.
