That will permit some "incoming" relaying (see section 41.5 of the
manual for discussion). If you have no settings of sender_host_accept_relay
etc. then you have no control over "outgoing" relaying. You should
probably have the default

sender_host_reject_relay = *

Incidentally, setting relay_match_host_or_sender does nothing unless you
have got sender_address_relay set.
