Right. I misread the OP. It said "I think the simplest would be if I
could control the address from which mailman sends it's mail, say if
mailman binds to 127.0.0.2 instead of 127.0.0.1 when it sends it's
mail."

I read that as "... control the address to which mailman sends ...",
thinking  that Karl would then change Postfix behavior based on the IP
the mail arrives at.

However, I too am puzzled as to why there are unqualified non-local
addresses to deal with at all.
