Reject inbound mail from local domain

Would an spf record for example.com help? You might have to include your
ISPs relay in that record if they don't allow you to send mail directly.

Anyone can send a mail with "from:" header "first_user at example.com" from anywhere in the world to "second_user at example.com" and kolab accepts this, even if postfix should know that mails from its local domain (i.e example.com in this example) _must_ come from authorised users only (or from internal processes at least) and not via some port 25 smtpd.
