I don't think so.  From
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_relay_restrictions :

 For backwards compatibility, sites that migrate from Postfix versions
before 2.10 can set smtpd_relay_restrictions to the empty value, and use
smtpd_recipient_restrictions exactly as before.

So the empty relay_restrictions should imply the equivalence to the
recipient_restrictions.

I think the issue was the lack of sender_login_mismatch issue in the
sender restrictions.

So now I want to focus on Sendmail.  Any sendmail guru's out there?

Thanks,
