IMHO, SA is not the tool for that. instead of using SA for that purpose, i'd 
suggest to generate a list of valid users on the MTA or transfer it to the 
MTA.

grant them access in some lookup table
(be it as envelope senders and/or in From: headers)

deny sender access to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
run some header check if you want to deny them in From: headers also.

in my view, thats more of a topic for a list of users of the MTA of your 
choice.
