Don't comment it out.  Instead leave it as is but don't put any domains
in the line after the equal sign.

Also, check the line:

local_domains = localhost

So that only your host can relay though.

One more setting, host allow line like this:

host_accept_relay = "127.0.0.1:192.168.1.0/7"

So that you can allow specific ips to relay.  if you only specify
localhost then that is all that is allowed.
 Good luck.
