SA will not use "localhost" unless your MTA is borked. with postfix and
others, the hostname will be "unknown" (for a PTR to be used, IP -> PTR
-> A should return the original IP).

Block these at MTA level. with (a recent) postfix:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
 ...
 reject_unauth_destination
 ...
 check_reverse_client_hostname_access hash:/etc/postfix/access_host
 check_helo_hostname hash:/etc/postfix/access_host
 ...
