OT: Sendmail: stopping RBL checks for authenticated users

Hi,

Sorry for the OT but you guys seem to know everything!

We have a client who is a roaming user (all over Asia at the moment) and the IPs he 
connects with sometimes end up in RBL lists.

I want to setup the submission port (587) and configure it to allow authenticated 
users only (no other restrictions).  Does anyone know the correct submit.mc format to 
allow this?

I already have smtp auth/sasl configured in the main sendmail but the RBL check are 
done before the auth checks.

My googling has so far come up with lots of people asking the question but no definite 
answers.  Lots of other answers, but not this one.

Thanks if you can help.

Ian
