You are not checking to see if your domain is being spoofed.


deny   message = some message
        domains = +local_domains
        hosts   = !+relay_from_hosts    
      condition = ${if {match_domain 
{$sender_address_domain}{+local_domains} {true}{false}}



The above should do the job. (The condition line might appear to across
2 lines but it is actually one line)
