Okay... do a couple of things:
    - make sure that relaydelay.pl is consulting your .conf file 
(double-check the path)
    - set $reverse_mail_tracking=0; in your .conf file
    - if you can, delete everything from the relaytofrom table and 
re-add the whitelist entries for your local subnet(s), be sure to 
include 127.0
    - Run a test again....  please send the complete log of the test 
event including the client connect info, etc... (there is some 
information which sendmail logs before assigning a qid, you can 
correlate by the PID number after sm-mta). 

Also please describe the circumstances of your test
    - how are you sending the mail -- is it via the command line on the 
smtp host?  are you using a separate client machine?
