To do this, somewhere near the end of your main.cf: header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks File /etc/postfix/header_checks looks like this: /^From:.*whoe...@aol.com/ REJECT sender blacklisted Postfix reload Caveat: currently no way to white list anything you add to header checks - but as you want to blacklist, no big issue there. Bonus: Can easily and quickly blacklist on any header match (use with care) not just the 'from'.
