$SendmailMacros{'auth_authen'} doesn't seem to be set to anything for an
authenticated connection during filter_recipient(). This macro does exist
during filter_begin(). Is there a reason why it gone during
filter_recipient() or is there a way for me to set a variable in
filter_begin() that would be available during filter_recipient()? (i suspect
not but I'm not a perl expert).

According to 'man mimedefang-filter', the sendmail macros are not available
during filter_recipient(). Did you verify that it worked for you?

thanks,
