BTW I noticed in the FAQ that there are hints on setting fetchmail up with
several different MDAs, but nothing for postfix. Are there any handy dandy
hints on using this combination?
Well, postfix is an MTA (though it may also contain an MDA, I don't
know enough about postfix). For all MTAs the standard solution is to
leave fetchmail at it's default - passing mail to port 25/tcp on
localhost.
So the question is can fetchmail/postfix be configured to in such away
that Postfix will recognize the true source of the spam and reject them
before any additional processing takes place?
In short, no. Fetchmail can't fake the IP the mail is coming from.
I'm afraid you'll need to find some other way of filtering than by the
source IP.
