     This can't currently be done in postfix, unless you hack the code.

     Personally, I think this is a really bad idea. What about legitimate mail
     from MAPS domains? You'd drop it without giving the sender a chance to
     find out why/what happened and rectify matters.

     Silently accepting spam lets spammers abuse your machine resources.

     See above.
