If you wish to restrict SMTP access via IP addresses or a network range, one way to do it would be via Postfix configuration. You can set up restrictions using a Postfix hash-table or via a cidr file. You can choose one or both methods to perform the restrictions. The end-result will be the same.
Create a text file with the addresses you would like to reject. You can choose whatever file name you wish. E.g.: /etc/postfix/smtp_client_access
Its content should be something like:
192.168.0.1 REJECT Stop mailing us 192.168.0.2 REJECT Stop mailing us 192.168.1 REJECT Stop mailing us
Next, postmap it by running:
postmap /etc/postfix/smtp_client_access
Then add/edit this in your main.cf:
smtpd_client_restrictions = check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/smtp_client_access
Similar as a hash file but with slightly different content, and you don't have to postmap it.
192.168.0.1 REJECT Stop mailing us 192.168.0.2 REJECT Stop mailing us 192.168.1.0/24 REJECT Stop mailing us
Add/edit this in your main.cf (if the file was named /etc/postfix/cidr_client_access):
smtpd_client_restrictions = check_client_access cidr:/etc/postfix/cidr_client_access
You could also combine the two like so:
smtpd_client_restrictions = check_client_access cidr:/etc/postfix/cidr_client_access, check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/client_access
Don't forget to reload Postfix
postfix reload
