This is a fairly straight forward ACL. You basically deny if the
localpart is the special alias and the host (or sender domain) is not in
the list of local IP addresses (or domain names.)

Something like (and this is completely untested)

  deny  local_parts = restrictedalias
    domains = my.local.domain
    ! hosts = +relay_hosts
    message = only authorized hosts can send mail to this address
