The badmailfrom file is the closest qmail comes to this and that
applies to all messages sent through qmail-smtpd, regardless of IP.
The only workaround I'm aware of is to run a second instance of
tcpserver/qmail-smtpd that is only available to local clients and make
sure you *don't* have a badmailfrom file in that configuration and
that you *do* have a badmailfrom in the publically accessible one.
