I had this same issue. If you are sure that relaying is working (telnet 
into your email server) then you might check what version of MailTools  
you are using? I think I had a problem with like version 1.45 or 1.46. 

Also install all perl modules with CPAN. I never did get freeside to work 
when using perl from redhat RPMs. 

Hope this helps,
