That sounds great! What are the sendmail.mc macros to do this?

The client_addr/client_port should be fairly unique, at least for a
period of time, excluding intentionally misconfigured clients.

Can sendmail pass the pid of the sendmail fork that's handling a given
request? I could probably get that from the client_addr/client_port,
but that seems inefficient.
