I have a need to test network throughput for SMTP traffic on Fedora

A postfix mailing list would be more appropriate?
In any case, look at man 5 access.
In /etc/postfix/access:
1.2.3.4 DISCARD message go bye
1.2.3.4. being the IP address of the client (see the man page for loads of
alternatives)
then:
# cd /etc/postfix
# postmap access
You might need to configure postfix to look at that access file.
Something like the following in /etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtpd_client_restrictions =
check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/access,
