It means relay from those you claim their email address is that of a local user on your box. So, if you host [EMAIL PROTECTED], then anyone can relay through your server is they put a from address of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Requiring SMTP AUTH and disabling relay except for specific IPs is the only way to work these days, unless you're also a network provider, in which case it's still a good idea.
