RE: Excluding users from the milter

[Robert Wagner]

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for.
http://spamassassin.rediris.es/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html

whitelist_to address@hidden

If the given address appears in the To: or Cc: headers, mail will be
whitelisted. Useful if you're deploying SpamAssassin system-wide, and don't
want some users to have their mail filtered. Same format as whitelist_from.

Ideally, (IMHO), the right answer would be this:
When sendmail starts up, it gathers the input filter names.
It would make sense, and be consistent with other sendmail "ways"
to have sendmail invoke a rule per milter.  So if I have:
O InputMailFilters=SpamAssassinFilter,

the rule "check_SpamAssassinFilter" would be invoked before sending
data to the milter.

Sendmail would look at the return value to decide (ok = "send
through milter" and error = "don't send through milter).

Bumps include mail to several people, some of whom get it, some
don't.  Sendmail splits mail already and could do that here.


An alternernative would be to have the milter use the access map
(access.db) to decide who gets miltered or not.

The access map is used as a single point to manage various
access points to mail.


Again, ideally, the map lookup routines would be in a library
from sendmail and not buried in the single binary.  This way
the library can deal with the access map being a db file,
an LDAP entry, a HESIOD map, or a NIS map.

  Sendmail folks have run into this as a problem over and over
and over. (I've been doing SNMP things where I have to hand
parse the sendmail.cf file and that's just wrong - I should
be able to say something like:

   char **imf;
   imf=sm_getOption("InputMailFilters")
