I have achieved this with a slightly hacked TMDA (www.tmda.net).
if you
want my modifications, contact me off-list.
I'm surprised you actually mentioned a solution whose core
feature is
challenge/response. C/R is one of those "cures" that far is worse
than the disease.

I got rid of the C/R ... I wanted auto whitelisting & some of the
other
features. hence my modifications.
From:
http://tmda.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/TmdaFaq#head-0b1aee3c2decf32a26ffcc12b397f9d3cec3fdc0
How do I setup an "auto-whitelist"?
I'm sure that it is possible to MODIFY the TMDA source code such
that it will handle auto-whitelisting without challenge-response.
Conceptually, it's as simple as 1) never sending the challenge and
2) skipping the "was this challenge confirmed" check.
After that change, there is a lot of code that can be deleted
because it is no longer used.
Given the choice between starting from scratch, and starting with
code that already works, the choice should be clear. The only reason
to write Postfix in the first place was that I could not live with
the alternatives.

the code did not need to be modified to skip the challenge - that's
configurable in the users' and global .config files.
I do challenge *some* emails, but anyone I send to is auto-whitelisted
without hassle - their replies cone through without challenge.
further, I've set the config to add a header such that known senders
will skip certain spam checks (but not AV) vis-a-vis having
spamassassin look for the added header.
my modifications were to make LDAP functionality work right.
