Default problem with authentication

I have qmail with auth and turned off open relay. When I send mail from
other server, e.g. yahoo.com I recive that error (on yahoo acount):
<<- MAIL From:<my_mail@yahoo.com> BODY=8BITMIME
->> 250 ok
<<- RCPT To:<lukasz@my_private_server>
->> 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts
(#5.7.1)

Here is rcpthosts:
127.0.0.1
And here is tcp.smtp before encoding (?):
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.1.3:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

I think I should add line like this:
:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
but I don`t know if it can make my server an open relay server. Could
someone help me?

Thanks

Add 'my_private_server' here for your qmail knowing it is allowed to
receive mails for this domain.
Remember to put 'my_private_server' in 'locals' or 'virtualdomains' as
well, for qmail knowing _how to handle_ mails for this domain.

You should _NOT_. Under no circumstances you should do this. Never. Not
in this life. THIS would make your installation an "open relay", which
is what you want to avoid at the price of your life!
