Philip,

Go read this page: http://sial.org/howto/mimedefang/macro-pass/ .  It
describes how to setup sendmail to pass macros to mimedefang.  Use it to
pass a macro that tells MD whether the user authenticated or not.  If
this user authenticated, and you trust them, then just omit them from
spam filtering altogether.
