do you do sender callout? If yes then you have found the answer.
There's no point in doing sender callout and then block the callout
because you do not like it... or better, there is a point, and that
is to hit your foot with the spade, as we say here...
Naturally, if you whitelist empty senders at RCPT you must block
spammy ones at DATA (or perhaps predata?).
