This does exactly what you ask, but you probably need more.

/etc/postfix/main.cf:
    smtp_sender_restrictions = 
        check_sender_whitelist hash:/etc/postfix/sender_access reject

/etc/postfix/sender_whitelist:
    # Allow notifications of undeliverable mail.
    # http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_null_access_lookup_key.
    <> permit
    # Whitelisted users
    us...@example.com permit
    us...@example.org permit

(use "postmap /etc/postfix/sender_whitelist" after changing the whitelist).

What you probably need is a way to automatically whitelist an address
after you send mail to it; such a feature is known as "penpals" and
is built into, for example, amavisd-new.

Penpals support is not built into Postfix. It may be done with a
script (Perl, Python) that tails the maillog file and that adds a
new recipient to the sender whitelist.
