and even if postfix supports it you gain nothing for a lot of reasons * not everybody is using postfix * not everybody using postfix is using the latest version * not all other mailservers supports it * no all other software verify addresses and filter mails supports it * any *involved* machine from sender to final RCPT need to support it 100% hence forget this broken idea for the next at least 5 years
