I looked at the code and I think, that cannot work this way imho...

I thought about it for some time and I follow your advise:

I installed simscan and moved the spamcheck to the front. I also
installed the "spamassassin botnet" plugin. It does exactly what I
originally wanted: Searching for \.adsl\. and so on. I reject spam above
the score 10.0.

I removed the simscan check for all those users, who use the submission
port. So, they can still send mails to each other without getting
blocked while using ADSL...

Thanks,
    Aiko
