If I understand your post correctly, you simply want to add your private LAN
address to /etc/mail/access. This would allow hosts on your private subnet
to use your MTA to send e-mail. Something like the following should work.
Adjust to meet your LAN address.
192.168.9.0/255.255.255.0 RELAY
Then type "make" in the /etc/mail directory to rebuild the access database.
