You can identify smtp-auth'd mail by whether you have a value for
the variable $SendmailMacros{"auth_type"}. It does not matter for
this purpose what the value is. We do this near the top of
filter_begin:
undef($good);
if (defined($SendmailMacros{"auth_type"})) {
$good = 1;
}
if ($RelayAddr eq "127.0.0.1") {
$good = 1;
}
Mail from localhost is as good as smtp auth. And then for certain
routines including the Spamassassin check, we can say:
unless ($good) {
# do something
}
You need to undef($good), or localize it with my(), because remember
the same perl process will filter many messages, and you want to
define $good per message.
