[Mimedefang] Issues w/ authenticated submission

Hi.

I'm submitting from a host behind a NATed gateway, so the
address that my machine things it is using when it says "HELO [x.x.x.x.x]"
if different from that which my local server is seeing.

The problem is that we check for address spoofing as a basic sanity
test... and it's failing (of course).

Is there a simple work-around for this?  Either to make mimedefang
things that this is somehow a trusted host if the connection is
authenticated and comes in on port 465...

Or else should I add logic to skip this test in mimedefang-filter
(for filter_helo()) when authentication is set?

And if the later, how to go about that?  What's the most elegant
solution (and hopefully, fairly generalized)?

Thanks,

-Philip
