Yep, here is a very basic accept Auth and Relay and send all it gets to
a smarthost for further processing.
#####START OF CONFIG #####
hostlist relay_hosts = <GOOD_IP's>
hostlist connection_reject = <BAD_IP's>
begin acl
acl_check_mail:
deny message = \
HELO/ELHO command MUST be issued.
condition = ${if !def:sender_helo_name{1}{0}}
accept hosts = +relay_hosts :
accept authenticated = *
deny message = \
A proper RFC822/2822 address must be given.
acl_check_rcpt:
deny message = \
Restricted characters in email addresses are forbidden.
local_parts = ^.*[@%!/|] : ^\\.
accept hosts = +relay_hosts :
accept authenticated = *
deny message = \
SMTP relaying is not permitted without proper authentication.
acl_check_data:
accept hosts = +relay_hosts :
accept authenticated = *
deny message = \
The message has been rejected as it is undeliverable.
begin routers
ForceToMX:

no_more

#####END OF CONFIG#####
