This represents the largest problem I have, because any well-known existing

I'd have to disable RBLs at SMTP connect time, as well as greylisting...
In sendmail, there's the "delay_checks" feature which if enabled
will postpone the RBL/blacklist & milter checks until after the 'RCPT to:'
SMTP phase. This enables things such as 'SPAMFRIENDS' filters
in your access DB making it possible to use RBL/blacklists/milters and
still let all senders get messages to specific selected recipients
(EG "postmaster" or selected spamtrap/honeypot addresses).
