You'd be doing yourself a big favor by using tcpserver. It'd take you ten
minutes to set up.

It's qmail-smtpd that cares about RELAYCLIENT. Setting it for qmail-start won't
do anything. You need to set it via your inetd/tcpd invocation. (I don't know
how, as I use tcpserver.)
Read http://www.palomine.net/qmail/selectiverelay.html. It'll get you set up
with selective relaying and tcpserver in no time flat. (This is very similar to
Peter Samuel's document on the same subject, but I wrote it to go along with my
"qmail newbie's guide to relaying.")
