It's a little complicated because an incoming SMTP mail can be for
more than one user.  So:

- Make sure you're running Sendmail 8.12.5
- Make sure locally-submitted e-mail goes via SMTP and is scanned by MIMEDefang
- Then, assuming the user is called "smartaleck at mydomain.net", do this:

sub filter_begin {
	my($recip);
	foreach $recip (@Recipients) {
		# Remove angle-brackets; convert to lower-case
		$recip =~ tr/<>//d;
		$recip = lc($recip);
		if ($recip eq 'smartaleck at mydomain.net') {
			if (stream_by_recipient()) {
				return
			}
		}
	}

	# At this point, if smartaleck at mydomain.net was in the list of
	# recipients, the mail is re-sent one time for each recipient.
	# From here on in, we need test $Recipients[0] only.
}

sub filter {
	my($entity, $fname, $ext, $type) = @_;
	return action_accept() if ($Recipients[0] eq 'smartaleck at mydomain.net');

	# Rest of filter for non-smart-alecks...
}

sub filter_multipart {
	my($entity, $fname, $ext, $type) = @_;
	return action_accept() if ($Recipients[0] eq 'smartaleck at mydomain.net');

	# Rest of filter_multipart for non-smart-alecks...
}
