accept hosts = ... whatever
accept senders = ... whatever

(Two successive "accept"s are in effect "or"ed together.)

But it is a *very* bad idea to accept messages purely on the basis of
the sender address, because these are frequently forged.

  accept authenticated = *
         sender_domains = ... the domains you allow ...
         verify = sender


(Multiple conditions in a single "accept" are "and"ed together.)
