No, I was saying that if you are trying to control relaying based on IP
address, that relayclients is the right (special-purpose) tool for the job.
Since you've explained that isn't what you're doing, then whitelist_soft
will work fine, and is appropriate.
Your issue is that because there's no core support for whitelisting, plugins
still have to support it explicitly. I can't find your rcpt_to plugin, but
I'm assuming it doesn't.
So (untested) you should just need to add something like:
return OK if $self->transaction->notes('whitelistsender');
to your rcpt_to plugin.
Cheers,
Gavin
