I need to exclude them from the milter altogether.  Some of the
recipients on my system are very high volume, and the messages are
delivered directly to programs which would discard the spam anyhow.
However, I also have mostly "normal" human recipients who would like to
have spam filtering turned off.

Yes, I was looking at doing just that.  I don't think it would be a very
complicated change.

I was going to try doing it in sendmail.cf using classes, but there's no
RHS rule to run the filters.  They're run all the time.

Ok, thanks.
