I am trying to whitelist, not blacklist. In other words, I setting it up
so some domains do not get checked by mimedefang. In /etc/mail/access that
would be the OK and RELAY entries not the REJECT entries. Of course I said
that above.

I did read mimedefang.pl and I typed man mimedefang-filter, and I am
using the correct variables. From mimedefang.pl:
my($rcpt_mailer, $rcpt_host, $rcpt_addr);
>From the man page on mimedefang-filter:
filter_recipient is passed nine arguments: $recipient is the
envelope address of the recipient and $sender is the envelope e-
mail address of the sender (for example, "<dfs at roaringpen-
guin.com>"). The addresses may or may not be surrounded by angle
brackets. $ip and $name are the IP address and host name of the
SMTP relay. $first is the envelope address of the first recipient
for this message, and $helo is the argument to the SMTP "HELO"
command. The last three arguments, $rcpt_mailer, $rcpt_host and
$rcpt_addr are the Sendmail mailer, host and address triple for
the recipient address. For example, for local recipients,
$rcpt_mailer is likely to be "local", while for remote recipients,
it is likely to be "esmtp".
