Delay_checks delays the relay check until after the sender/recipient 
check.  If you've got something in filter_recipient or filter_sender 
that accepts the mail, it won't make it as far as the relay check in 
access.db.  I'm not sure whether Sendmail will do its own relay checks 
first or the milter relay checks, so you might need to check 
filter_relay too.
