Is there a best way to stop backscatter spam without using check
headers? Traffic is too heavy to user check headers + we received
email for three different domains.
Using postfix 2.6.

To stop backscatter spam, don't accept mail you cannot deliver.
That is a very smart answer, please pardon my stupidity.
Header_checks are trivially spoofed.

Spammers spoof the "from" and gets redirected to "user" in my domain?
How do you fight that?
I don't understand what you mean.
If spammers spoof the envelope sender, header_checks will not help you.
If spammers spoof the sender header, well, postfix doesn't look at From:
headers.
