You don't have to set anything. Courier is set up like that by default. By default courier will ONLY accept mail for domains listed in the esmtpacceptmailfor file. It will, however, accept and relay mail for any sender who authenticates first. You can also add ip addresses/ranges into a file in the smtpaccess directory and courier will accept and relay mail for any machines from those ip addresses. This is normally exactly what you want and you don't have to change anything. This is the way it works "out of the box". (If you made rpms, make sure you install the courier-smtpauth rpm.) If you set "AUTH_REQUIRED=1" in the etc/esmtpd file then courier will ONLY accept mail from senders who authenticate first. This means that regardless of what's in your esmtpacceptmailfor files, courier will not accept any mail unless the sender authenticates first. This is usually not what you want.
