Why not? Use whitelist_from_rcvd to prevent opening a hole.

whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] sourceforge.net
Use this to supplement the whitelist_from addresses with a check
against the Received headers. The first parameter is the address
to whitelist, and the second is a string to match the relay's rDNS.
This string is matched against the reverse DNS lookup used during
the handover from the internet to your internal network's mail
exchangers. It can either be the full hostname, or the domain
component of that hostname. In other words, if the host that
connected to your MX had an IP address that mapped to
'sendinghost.spamassassin.org', you should specify
"sendinghost.spamassassin.org" or just "spamassassin.org" here.
Note that this requires that "internal_networks" be correct. For
simple cases, it will be, but for a complex network, or running
with DNS checks off or with "-L", you may get better results by
setting that parameter.
e.g.
whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] example.com
whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] sergeant.org
