Is the fact that he authorized himself sufficient, or do you also
want to prevent authorized users from specifying non-local addresses
in MAIL FROM: (which can have legitimate uses)?

"domains" has to do with *recipient* addresses, not the sender
address. You can test the *sender's* domain in acl_smtp_mail with
the sender_domains condition. But the sender address is not
reliable, it can be anything the sending client says it is.

You can use condition "authenticated = *" to make sure the sender has
authenticated himself.

If you want to disallow sender address spoofing by authenticated
clients, use server_set_id in your authenticators to set
$authenticated_id to the username credential, then test that against
$sender_address in acl_smtp_mail.
