Greetings,
With a simple Google query I found:
http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.postfix.users/browse_thread/thread/6fed867f36847f74/4dc7981ffca06d8a%234dc7981ffca06d8a
While it is from 2003 I doubt that the syntax has changed very much (I do
not use postfix). If it does not work as expected then I would suggest
reading the Postfix manual (sounds like you should do this anyways) and/or
querying Google.
Also, when a service does not have built in authentication measures it is
easy to impose such limits with iptables. Something like `iptables -A
INPUT -i eth0 -s allowed_ip --dport 25 -j ACCEPT` should work well if your
default policy for the INPUT chain is set to DROP or REJECT. If it is not then you
could change it to be so(`iptables -P INPUT REJECT`) or insert a new rule
before your ACCEPT line: `iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 --dport 25 -j REJECT`.
