I think the simplest approach to reject mail that
falsely claims to be from you is to use the
smtpd_sender_restrictions parameter and
check_sender_access. e.g.:

  In /etc/postfix/main.cf:
  smtpd_sender_restrictions =
    permit_mynetworks
        permit_sasl_authenticated
        check_sender_access pcre:/etc/postfix/sender-access
        permit

  In /etc/postfix/sender-access:
    /mrbrklyn\.com/ REJECT

Test it with:

  postmap -q [email protected] pcre:/etc/postfix/sender-access

And then test that you can still send yourself an email! :-)

This only applies the check for email that isn't coming
from your own networks/users.

If you don't have/want PCRE installed, you can replace
"pcre:" with "regexp:" (but it's slower).

Alternatively, you can set up SPF/DKIM/DMARC or rspamd.
There's more work involved, but it might help others if
anyone else is receiving mail that claims to be from you.
But it might just be your domain receiving those emails.
