To specify which hosts should be able to relay through your server, set
host_accept_relay. For a private LAN, that might be something like

host_accept_relay = 192.168.91.32/28

or whatever range you use. You might want to use

host_accept_relay = 192.168.91.32/28 : 127.0.0.1

in case any programs on the mail server itself want to send mail by
connecting to localhost on port 25.
