[Mimedefang] Testing for port #/TLS in filter_relay

I recently got one of those cool Nokia phones that does SMTP/TLS and
IMAP4/SSL, so I figured I'd give it a try.
Unfortunately, when I connect to my mail server from Cingular, I'm going
through a NATting proxy that uses an address block with no rDNS.
(Yes, I know that blocking incoming connections on the absence of rDNS
is anti-social. I've made my bed, and I'll lay in it...)
The issue is this: if the user is connecting on 465 or 587 with SSL or
TLS (resp), then we don't mind him not having rDNS because he has to
authenticate with a username and password anyway.
So... what can I test for in filter_relay() to know if the connection
is coming in on port 25, or something else?
Thanks,
-Philip
