And the most effective countermeasure to spam originating from devices
on the LAN has nothing to do with Postfix.  As most spamware in the wild
today still attempts to send direct-to-MX, simply creating a TCP 25
egress filter at your edge router/firewall will give the best bang for
the buck.  This simply means creating a rule to drop all outbound TCP 25
connections except those originating from the IP of your Postfix MTA.
