smtpd problem: can't send (relay) from remote hosts,
        (not from hosts on LAN nor from outside LAN)

RedHat 7.0, sendmail 8.11.0-8
mail server on LAN ("myserver"),
behind ipchains firewall, portforwarding 25, 143, 110, 220
caching nameserver on firewall, 2 DNS registrations for external IP number
                of firewall:  user-x-y-z-w.ispname.com   and
                                foo.dyndns.org
/etc/hosts on myserver:
        127.0.0.1       localhost
        192.168.1.221   myserver
        192.168.1.1     myfirewall   # internal LAN interface num of firewall
        192.168.1.2     client-2     # ('Doze PC on LAN, Netscape Comm IMAP)

HOSTNAME of myserver:  myserver

Made 1 change to /etc/sendmail.cf:
        Djfoo.dyndns.org

sendmail started at boot, with contents of /etc/sysconfig/sendmail:
DAEMON=yes
QUEUE=1h
(Which according to documentation is supposed to be equivalent to
starting sendmail with -bd, which is supposed to be starting it as a daemon,
which means that smtpd feature is supposed to be active.)

I can send/receive mail from accounts directly logged into myserver.
I can read mail via IMAP with Netscape Communicator IMAP client from
        mailbox on myserver
I cannot SEND mail from Netscape Comm client, with smtp server defined as:
        192.168.1.2
(also if define as "myserver" with lmhosts.sam entry of 192.168.1.2 myserver)

The error message from Netscape client when try to send:

"There was no response.  The server could be down or not responding"

I tried adding entry to /etc/mail/access

192.168.1.0     RELAY

(Restarting sendmail)

Makes no difference.

What do I need to do?

(Note: I will also want to run horde/imp webmail client)
