What do you mean by "telnet into postfix"?  Are you saying that valid
users on your system are spamming your other users?  All you can do
there is monitor your own house and slap anyone who does that.  It
doesn't matter whether they spam their fellow users or the whole world.
your users are your responsibility but that's not a technical issue.

If you mean that someone can connect to your port 25 and send your
users spam then yes, welcome to the twenty-first century and the spam
problem that everyone is fighting.  That's the daily fight we all
have.  There are a number of spam mitigation techniques that you can
try.  None of them are 100% effective.  You can block known spam sites,
use SPF, greylisting and other tools to slow down spam at the SMTP
level and spamassassin, bogofilter and other filters after to catch
suspected spam after it is accepted.  Look at spam-fighting sites for
some ideas.

If you do find a way to block 100% of all spam please tell us how.
Better yet, package it and sell it.  You will be a billionaire.
