This is a terrible idea, because the server cannot distinguish
between different clients, and therefore you can't 'punish' a bad
client with client-based policies. You punish them all.

Please consider using something like HaProxy, which can inform
Postfix of the remote SMTP client IP address and thus enables more
meaningful policies.
