No, that is no relaying but accepting incoming mail for local delivery.
Or is that incoming mail really relayed to a different mail host then?
What happens with mails from outside to local users where the from
address - can I guess you mean the envelope address? - is no local one?
Is the mail accepted then too or rejected?

I ask myself why you run a mail server if you don't want to get incoming
mails. At least for administrative jobs the MTA for a domain must accept
incoming mail, like for the postmaster@ address. Else you are ignoring
RFCs.

Just as a last trial, or are you speaking of aliased local addresses?
Then read
