Further, how does check_sender_mx_access differ from Sender Address
Verification (SAV)? (where SAV is an INCREDIBLY bad idea, and a blight

(meaning: if check_sender_mx_access is just the postfix name for SAV,
then we not only shouldn't avoid techniques that break
check_sender_mx_access, we should all openly adopt techniques that
break check_sender_mx_access as a means to further remove the SAV
blight from the internet)
Unfortunately, John, it's not SAV. It's an access table used against the
MX hosts for the MAIL FROM.
So, it's a table stored in the local postfix instance, that says which
addresses are valid mail-froms?
How does that collide with a remote MX being bogus? It seems like the
problem isn't that the remote MX is bogus, the problem would be that the
local postfix admin is entering a value into said table.
