Ok, but what's the big deal about them connecting to your server? Are
they so many that you have excessive load or something?

I think there's no reliable way to do what you want without client side
changes. If the latter would be ok, though, a good way is WB's
suggestion: Only allow incoming connections to 587 (and 465/smtps for
the u$ clients) and block people which are not trusted (IP) or
authenticated at MAIL FROM or RCPT TO.
