Hey, I don't know the defaults by heart :)

By default, the Postfix SMTP server relays mail:

* from trusted clients whose IP address matches $mynetworks,
* from trusted clients whose hostname matches $relay_domains or a
subdomain thereof,
* from untrusted clients to destinations that match $relay_domains or a
subdomain thereof, except for addresses that contain sender-specified
routing (userelsewheredomain).

So, since relay_domains is empty, Postfix should only relay for
mynetworks.
How do you test relaying?
