[CLUE-Tech] I'm a WHAT?!

Hey guys,
I just got an email from ordb.org, claiming that I am operating an open
relay.  Last I checked, the thing refused all foreign SMTP traffic...
Anyway, I took it at it's word, and added "ALL:ALL" to my hosts.deny file,
figuring that that was probably the easiest way to fix the problem.  It made
no difference with regard to ordb.org, just locked me out of my IMAP while
I'm at work...
Why?  How come ordb can get to my SMTP, but I can't get to my IMAP?
I can send in my hosts.allow, hosts.deny, and sendmail.cf if that's any
help...  Any ideas?
