Create a plain text file: `/etc/postfix/accepted_unauth_senders`:

```
fax-machine-12@mydomain.tld OK
```

Use postmap to create hash db file:

```
# postmap hash:/etc/postfix/accepted_unauth_senders
```

Modify Postfix to use this text file: `/etc/postfix/main.cf`

```
smtpd_sender_restrictions = 
    check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/accepted_unauth_senders,
    [...OTHER RESTRICTIONS HERE...]
```

Restart/reload postfix to make it work:

```
# /etc/init.d/postfix restart
```
