Editing the two files you mentioned should not create an open relay. Have
you tested your server against an external relay tester like:

Any domain names listed in local-host-names would be considered local. i.e.
sendmail would hand off any e-mail addressed to these domains to procmail
for local delivery, not relay them.

Based on my understansing of your post, it sounds like all you need are the
mailertable entries for the domain names that you wish to relay to your
primary mail server. local-host-names would be empty.
