I'm sure that it is possible to MODIFY the TMDA source code such
that it will handle auto-whitelisting without challenge-response.
Conceptually, it's as simple as 1) never sending the challenge and
2) skipping the "was this challenge confirmed" check.
After that change, there is a lot of code that can be deleted
because it is no longer used.
Given the choice between starting from scratch, and starting with
code that already works, the choice should be clear. The only reason
to write Postfix in the first place was that I could not live with
the alternatives.
