You may wish to consider check_sender_access and check_recipient_access
tables in your smtpd_sender_restrictions and
smtpd_recipient_restrictions respectively. (after
reject_unauth_destination of course)
Note: filtering by what a transaction gives you as a FROM (both envelope
and header) is highly unreliable and easily forged.

regexp files do not get postmap run on them.. Although, you can, and
should, run postmap using the -q option to validate entries.
See `man 1 postmap`
