I don't think you've read over the Policyd v2 documentation.

To get the same functionality, add a policy and use the following as
describe in the documentation:
<SNIP>
whatever.example.com
This will match the reverse dns of the IP where the client is connecting
from.
- You can use * as a wildcard match against anything except the ., for
example hello.*.example.com . You can use * as much as you like.
- Specifying example.com will only match example.com
- Specifying .example.com will match anything.example.com and
fu.bar.example.com

As a technical note, * is expanded into [a-z0-9\-_\.] and if . doesn't
prefix the specification it gets ^. All reverse dns specifications are
matched with end of line $ at the end.
</SNIP>

Once you have a policy, add an ACL and just PERMIT the mail... you will
now bypass everything. Alternatively create more specific policies to do
what you need.

Nigel
