Yes.

No. Note the name relay_TO_domains. This is what you set when you want
to relay from the Internet at large to certain domains (e.g. you own
domains behind you). If you had typed "to" instead of "from" above, that
would have been almost right (see below). Maybe you did mean "to"?

It's not quite right because that setting matches only one domain. From
your use of "serverS" and "all of which are on", I think what you really
mean is

domainlist relay_to_domains = *.fgr.kpmgbsc.net

(assuming you really meant "to" rather than "from").

Yes.

Check out the "w" flag for rewriting rules. But note that your example
is syntactically invalid. You must use () for comments, not [].
