You  should  never use 'Relay for Local Users' nor 'Local Hosts.' This
is a very hard rule.

The  moment  you activate one of these options, anyone who can perform
just  one  successful dictionary attack can relay through your server.
Whether or not you use the accept.txt (which just gives more addresses
for an attacker to use), and no matter how "hard to guess" your domain
names seem to be, names like root, postmaster, etc. will allow instant
access to remote recipients.

I  can't  in  good conscience tell you that anything having to do with
accept.txt is acceptable (manual vs. automatic updating, etc).
