on a system, where more users have mail accounts - any user (no need of root access) can send a mail which looks like it was send by other user.

telnet localhost 25
...
...
mail from: anything@domain.tld
...
...
...

can this somehow be prevented without iptables blocking?

Sure, by default postfix relay email from localhost. You should setup SMTP autentication by SASL for example.

Look at manual for smtpd_recipient_restrictions and SASL[/code]
