Looks right to me, both in sequence and content [1].

- You're allowing SMTP from specific host(s). Correct. Not so much a 'best
practice' <ptooey> as a must-do.
- Next, you're denying SMTP from anything else. Also correct.
- Implied, but must exist, is the Deny Any Any at the end. You'd be
surprised how many people forget that.

An aside: this is a great forum with an abundance of expertise in many
areas. That said, a google search on Cisco Forums / Cisco Community / Cisco
support forum will give you a much more focused target audience. Not that
you won't get great answers here, as you will.
