That's the best way to make sure that you are not an open relay (you could 
instead use "Relay for Addresses", and enter some "safe" IP addresses, and 
have everyone not coming from those IPs use SMTP AUTH ).

However, I don't believe that will prevent people from sending mail to the 
list using forged return addresses, since SMTP AUTH only applies to 
outgoing (relayed) E-mail.
