In the HOSTS_OPTIONS(5) manual page, I wrote:

       setenv name value
              Place  a  (name, value) pair into the process envi-
              ronment. The value is subjected to %<letter> expan-
              sions  and  may contain whitespace (but leading and
              trailing blanks are stripped off).

Translation: you need to specify a value for the RELAYCLIENT variable.
