@mx_primary is a special domain list that matches all domains that have
your server as their primary MX. You can use that (or @mx_any, if the
users may reasonably use your server as a secondary MX). See section
10.8 of the specification.

However, you still need to make sure that no user can steal the mail
from any other user that owns a domain that *does* point to your server.

Sounds dangerous in any case. Is it infeasible to manually approve all
domains the users want to forward from?
