mailscanner and SMTP AUTH

[Christian Kowarzik]

Hi

This works for sendmail received headers (we use sendmail 8.12.11-4 on 
RHEL3) as sendmail adds the word "authenticated" (and more) to the received 
header if the email was received using smtp-auth.

For the format of your received header, look for "HReceived:" in your your 
sendmail.cf or for "confRECEIVED_HEADER" in your sendmail.mc.
