Yes.  When ISPs first started blocking dynamic IPs, I was adding them one
at a time to /etc/postfix/transport like this:

.rit.edu        smtp:smtp-server.rochester.rr.com
rit.edu smtp:smtp-server.rochester.rr.com
microsoft.com smtp:smtp-server.rochester.rr.com

Make sure you have
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
in /etc/postfix/main.cf
