If you make the rule too specific, no-one will fix their application.
The following moves the pain to the party that is making the problem:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtpd_client_restrictions =
check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/client_access
/etc/postfix/client_access:
1.2.3.4 450 4.7.0 Please see http://www.example/whatever for assistance
The named webpage has instructions for how to be removed from the
blocklist. Once the system/application is cleaned up the rule can
be removed and mail will continue to flow.
