I thought so, too.  Here's what I've got:

mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain,
/etc/postfix/hostlist

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 <my class C>/24 192.168.X.0/24
[2001:xxxx:yyyy::]/48 [::1]/128 [fe80::]/10

relay_domains is not set

smtpd_relay_restrictions =

For kicks I just added reject_unauthenticated_sender_login_mismatch to my
smtpd_sender_restrictions:

smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
	permit_tls_clientcerts,
	permit_sasl_authenticated,
	check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/goodsender,
	check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/badsender,
	reject_unknown_sender_domain,
	reject_non_fqdn_sender,
	check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_access,
	reject_unverified_sender,
	reject_unauthenticated_sender_login_mismatch,
	permit

This is my bigger concern....  :(

One of these years I should just migrate that server over to postfix.
