You would want to put it immediately *after* the code that reads:

     accept  hosts = *
             authenticated = *


That is, the above stanza will immediately accept any email coming
from your authenticated users. The one above it accepts email for
all your relayhosts (i.e. your local IP addresses).

So, the example I gave in my previous email should go right after both
of those.

I didn't see anything particular unusual. I think it should work fine.
Definitely test it though to make sure its not blocking regular email.

I would test by sending email not only locally, but to yourself from
another ISP.
