James,

The more I think about this one, the more I think there is no solution to your issue. Well okay there are two choices, either use spamd or not. :)

You would have to have ESP to know from which IP address a particular sender would be sending. If I'm sitting in a hotel and using their WiFi then it is very probable that my message will be coming from their SMTP server, not that which I use normally. Given only my mail address you have no way of determining for sure, which server I use to send mail. The server I submit a message to does not have to be the server that eventually connects to the recipients server in DNS.

You can't provide an email address to spamd as the redirection happens before spamd, rather with PF. The default is to send the packets to spamd. Once the connection gets rdr to spamd, I'm not aware of anyway to say, redirect again to your real MTA. That brings us back to knowing the connecting servers IP address.

You could disable spamd protection and see how long it takes for your users to complain about the amount of spam they are getting. :)

I appreciate the suggestions, but, not quite what I'm looking for yet.
Either of these would allow me to whitelist someone AFTER they had been greylisting. What I'm looking for is a way to whitelist them based on user input.. before their initial email has been sent. In this somewhat typical
scenario, the user has contacted me and said "I don't want mail from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to be delayed... whitelist them, please."
