from http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html:
===========================================================
smtpd_sender_restrictions (default: empty)

    Optional restrictions that the Postfix SMTP server applies in the
context of the MAIL FROM command.

    The default is to permit everything.

    Specify a list of restrictions, separated by commas and/or
whitespace. Continue long lines by starting the next line with
whitespace. Restrictions are applied in the order as specified; the
first restriction that matches wins.

    The following restrictions are specific to the sender address
received with the MAIL FROM command.

check_sender_access type:table
        Search the specified access(5) database for the MAIL FROM
        address, domain, parent domains, or localpart, and execute the
        corresponding action.
[...]
Examples:

    smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain,
        check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/access
