Verifying sender address on locally submitted mail?

    My home mail server requires SASL authentication in order to submit
    an outgoing message.

    Is there a way for me to require the sender's address to match the
    authenticated value? For example, if a user authenticates himself
    as "fred" on smtpserver.example.tld, I would want to accept =only=
    mail for which the MAIL FROM: address is "".

    If possible, I'd like to go one step further and also require that
    the address in the "From:" header line should match the authenticated
    user's identity. Is this possible? (I realize such a restriction
    could only be enforced after a DATA command has been issued and the
    actual message has been received.)

    I realize that doing either or both of these things will not, in
    and of itself, block all forgery of mail -- but I'd still like to
    be able to do it if there's a way.
