Umm, no. Trust me, you do not want to do that. What makes you
think you want to do that? What agreeable things do you think
will happen to your server if you run an open relay on it? I
can think of several extremely *dis*agreeable things, that's not
difficult.

Bad idea.

You want to relay mail addressed to mynet.com.pk to
welcome.mynet.com.pk, right? Then mynet.com.pk should be in
rcpthosts, but not in locals.

You want
mynet.com.pk:welcome.mynet.com.pk
in smtproutes.
The rest depends on whether you are using the qmail machine as
an Internet gateway or not.

With ":welcome.mynet.com.pk" in smtproutes, *all* mail will be
transmitted to welcome.mynet.com.pk. *Except* that addressed to
mynet.com.pk, since you had mynet.com.pk in locals.
Exactly the opposite of what you want, if I understand you
correctly.
