Sounds like a lot of hacking of the rules would be needed. It also
sounds like something a Spammer wants to do. I'm not good enough at
sendmail rules to help.
But, I wanted to say, that you should probably update your sendmail.cf
file. You are running a cf file made from 8.6.12. That's bad. You're
loosing many of the advantages of 8.8.5 using such an old cf file. The
8.8.5 distribution makes it very easy to make a new cf file with the
m4 macros.
