That would work, but only for that specific sender. So it's generally not a 
very effective way to block spam, as it only covers one address on a single 
host. It can be decent as a temporary measure, though.

Did you read the 'header_checks' documentation? Have you used the Postfix 
documentation in general? Like, for example, if you search for 'postscreen' 
here;

http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html

It will lead you to;

http://www.postfix.org/POSTSCREEN_README.html

As for SpamAssassin and PolicyD, they are not part of Postfix; refer to their 
respective documentation for their specific features.
