sender_net_accept_relay = 1.2.3.4/16 etc.
sender_address_relay = *@your.domain
relay_match_host_or_sender

In other words, relay is permitted if *either* the sending host is on
your network *or* the sender address matches some pattern.

This does, of course, open you up to spam relaying if anybody discovers
that you permit the second case.
