You don't want to deny them use of your SMTP server; you just want to disallow
them from using you for a relay (i.e. from sending mail to a non-local
address). In your rules file you want the following single line:
209.134.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
And in the file control/rcpthosts you want to list all the domains for which
you want to accept mail. The above line will set RELAYCLIENT for any host
209.134.x.x, which will allow that host to relay. Any other host will be
allowed to connect, but will be restricted to sending mail to a domain you've
listed in control/rcpthosts.
