Hmm.. I was thinking possibly use the 'Received' headers, but that's
obviously not gonna work, since Sendmail doesn't add them on until after
the message is done in Milter (right?).

If Milter does pass the info in some format, it'd be nice to get a
variable in Mimedefang called '$isAuthenticated' or something similar that
we could run checks on.

If it's not possible, I'll just set up Sendmail to add a very specific
hostname onto unqualified messages, and then filter on a combination of
from addresses and the IP's that I know for sure.. not perfect, but that's
life.
