This host was originally intended to be internal use only so there is no MX record. When the system sends a message into my environment, they get this reply:

Sure.

smtpd_client_restrictions =
        check_client_access /etc/postfix/smtpd_client_list
        permit_mynetworks
	...

and create /etc/postfix/smtpd_client_list:

aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd		OK

and after reload you should be good.
