[Mimedefang] Filtering on SMTP authentication but would like to check for virus

[Andrew Watkins]

But the problem is that you should only use the read_commands_file() in 
filter_sender() or filter_recipient().

So, the basic logic of mimedefang in my case is:
    filter_relay
	- check SMTP connection
    filter_sender
	- check senders address, check auth
    filter_recipient
	- check recipient, greylisting
    filter_begin
	- Virus,
    filter
	- MIME, etc
    filter_end
	- SpamAssassin

So the logic I want is:

    filter_relay
    filter_sender
	- CHECK for SMTP authentication (set $GLOBALauth=YES)
    filter_recipient
	- skip if SMTP authentication ($GLOBALauth=YES)
   filter_begin
	- Check for Virus
	- if SMTP authentication ($GLOBALauth=YES) then 
ACCEPT_AND_NO_MORE_FILTERING


I just wanted to avoid a global variable.

Anyway, thanks for your help.
