sendmail relaying

I'm having difficutlies sendmail mail with my sendmail server.

background:

I have a linux box running sendmail in behind a firewall.
I want to use mail from my computer using my linux box as POP/SMTP

Both machines have internal 192.168 addresses
The Linksys router has the real_ip/hostname.
The linux box uses that hostname despite it's internal IP
I added 192.168.1. to my /etc/mail/relays file.

I am able to send mail to my UB account from my machine.  But when I try
to send mail to an aol account, I get relaying denied.  If I send it from
the box directly (pine), then it sends no problem.

So what step am I overlooking?
