I think you might be slightly confused between "incoming" and "outgoing"
relaying. Check out the diagram in section 41.5.

Assuming that by "who should be able to relay thru us" you mean "for
whom incoming messages can be relayed through us" this is OK. If you
really mean to refer to hosts that can relay *outwards* through you,
this isn't correct. (Have a look at sender_address_relay and
relay_match_host_or_sender.)

OK

No. This specifies hosts, not domains. If the only hosts you want to
accept mail from for general relay to the world are your 1 and a half
class C, then all you need is the sender_net_accept_relay setting.

Likewise, you don't want this.

It's the only way!

Seems OK as you have it.

Pass.

Have a look at the -bh option. It is useful for testing these kinds of
configuration setting.
