I use a similar logic early in the filtering to set a global
variable if the message comes from an internal source (for relay).
I then use this variable (especially in filter_end()) to include or
exclude the message for specific filtering, and it works nicely to
avoid spamassassin checking for trusted local relay email.
(Although everything accepted does get checked for virus and other
bad attachments).  I also use a similar methodology for "protecting"
some local email aliases used in-house as small restricted mailing
lists (only specific people/computers can use successfully post to
them).  I just love mimedefang... it's perl, and so customisable :-)
