The number of domains that your mail server accepts/delivers mail to has 
no bearing on who you allow to relay mail through your mail server.

If you have that many users using your mail server, then you want to 
employ authenticated SMTP (SMTP-AUTH) or POP-Before-SMTP...this way, only 
users with actual accounts on your system can relay mail through said 
system, and you don't have to maintain a large file of IP addresses or IP 
networks.
