exactly..

I assume these rules could safely go before the rbl rule as well?

# Accept if the message comes from one of the hosts for which we are an
# outgoing relay. Recipient verification is omitted here, because in many
# cases the clients are dumb MUAs that don't cope well with SMTP error
# responses. If you are actually relaying out from MTAs, you should
probably
# add recipient verification here.

  accept  hosts         = +relay_from_hosts


# Accept if the message arrived over an authenticated connection, from
# any host. Again, these messages are usually from MUAs, so recipient
# verification is omitted.

accept authenticated = *
