FWIW, the latest versions of postfix have code in them to block connects
from explicitly listed hosts:

    New check_{helo,sender,recipient}_{ns,mx}_access maptype:mapname
    restriction that applies the specified access table to the NS or
    MX hosts of the host/domain given in HELO, EHLO, MAIL FROM or RCPT
    TO commands.
            
    This can be used to block mail from so-called spammer havens, or
    from sender addresses that resolve to Verisign's wild-card mail
    responder, currently at IP address 64.94.110.11.
