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?).

sorry, I express myself with an improper analogy. (it should have been: don't do to others...) Leaving analogies alone, let me give you an example. I do do callouts and for consistency:

# the remote callout/bounce messages accept rule (but only if for existing local user)
  accept        domains         = +local_domains
                senders = :
                endpass
                message         = unknown user
                verify          = recipient

if they proceed to the data phase (so it is not a callout) I apply mercilessly my antispam rules.
