You'll need an accept clause immediately before the part of your ACL
that does sender verification. Not knowing your config, you should have
something like this already:

require verify        = sender


So in order to accept emails from that particular sender, try this:

accept  local_parts   = postmaster
        domains       = fax
        hosts         = 66.255.39.113


require verify        = sender


That way, messages arriving from 66.255.39.113 with a sender address of
"postmaster@fax" will be accepted; if they arrive from elsewhere they'll
be rejected.
