See the example here, in particular the section that begins with "If for some reason SASL users connect to port 25":

The example is specific to amavisd-new as a content_filter but you can amend for your needs.

Aha, I hadn't thought of it that way. Since I do happen to use amavisd-new here, this fits this bill VERY nicely. Thanks for the angle and I'll try it out in a bit.

On another machine I operate, I had one client shoot a good 3000 (yes, that's three THOUSAND) mails for a mailblast through port 25 which is fully filtered. Since this is an older dual-processor Pentium III, needless to say, it is supremely unfit for the task. To clear the queue of the backlog, I had to hand-set this thing to completely bypass the filtering entirely because it caused such a great load on the system.
