An interesting problem!
When you say that its not permitting relaying, I take it that you're watching /var/log/maillog and it gives the relaying denied error?
If so, whats the source address in the log file. An example one that I just did looks like this:

[code]
Oct 23 11:34:50 hegel sendmail[23535]: LAA23535: ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=myfakeemail@xxxxxxxxxxx, relay=mydomain.org.uk [199.199.199.199], reject=550 myfakeemail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Relaying denied.  Please use your ISP to SEND mail.
Oct 23 11:34:52 hegel sendmail[23535]: LAA23535: from=myfakeemail@xxxxxxxxx, size=0, class=0, pri=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP, relay=mydomain.org.uk [199.199.199.199]
[/code]

The 199.199.199.199 are the source of the message, so in your case this should point you to the address that the RaQ is trying to relay from, if its not added this needs to go into "Relay for the following Hosts/Domains" via GUI.
