You could control access by requiring them to send via the submission port

I can't think of how one would do this directly with postfix.

These two could be handled using always_bcc in postfix's main.cf.

Postfix gives lots of options for incoming filtering using DNS, amavisd and
clamav etc. There's extensive documentation on the postfix web site,
