This is actually a common question about Postfix. The answer is no, you can't do anything within Postfix itself to make an inbound/outbound distinction.

The best answer is apparently to run a separate postfix server on the same box. The document on www.spamassassin.org about making Postfix work with spamassassin mentions how you do this.

Hi. My name's Ray and I am a cc:Mail Admin. I know, I know. I'm not proud
of it. But it took a lot of courage for me to stand before you and admit
that to the group.

To make a long story short... No I cannot use anything else currently. The
Mac users are crashing the cc:Mail <--> Pop3 service almost daily. I am
moving them to a RH Linux POP3 server.

I want to take the functionallity of the 3 boxes I have now (Inbound Postfix
+SA, Sendmail Outbound Relay, and Postfix + POP3) and cut that all down to
one box. The transport mappings and aliases required to get the Mac users
onto the POP3 box are killing me and as you can imagine not all that fun to
maintain.

So .. I will have one box that will filter inbound mail and relay to
cc:Mail, relay outbound mail for the cc:Mail Gateway, and also be the new
POP3 server for the Mac users. But I want the outbound mail to go out
unfiltered. Is that something I ask about SA or Postfix? Do I just alter
SA to not scan mail from my domain? or do I run 2 instances of Postfix ..
one inbound and one outbound on the same box?

Thank in advance to all those more wise in these arcane matters.

Ray
