So I saw on this list a comment about skipping SPF checks for authenticated users, to use LOCAL_AUTH_RCVD like so:

header LOCAL_AUTH_RCVD Received =~ /\(authenticated as [EMAIL PROTECTED]) by host.name.dom /

Well, I got this working properly but I found that it doesn't do anything by itself. I can negative the SPF failure by using

score LOCAL_AUTH_RCVD    -10

But negating the score is very different from actually skipping SPF and DUL checks, which would save some processing that isn't useful.

Grepping for LOCAL_AUTH_RCVD in the source code shows that nothing else looks for it. So this isn't "how to deal with it properly" it is a recipe for "how to negate the score" which is entirely different.

Am I overlooking anything? Or do I need to change the code and submit a patch so that a person can optionally avoid doing DUL and SPF checks on authenticated e-mail?
