Hi, double check that no webserver script is injecting mail via
localhost etc, for other case

dig -x 113.167.239.162

162.239.167.113.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN  PTR     localhost.

thats not very rare in the internet

you may solve i.e it with

smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
                            permit_sasl_authenticated,
...
check_reverse_client_hostname_access
hash:/etc/postfix/reverse_client_hostname_access
...

/etc/postfix/reverse_client_hostname_access

localhost REJECT your ptr record points to localhost fix it
