Ddon't edit sendmail supplied m4 files.  Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc 
instead; all of those macros should still be available to you there...

e.g.

define(`confRECEIVED_HEADER', `......')dnl

Yuck.  Don't use 'ALL' when Received is far more appropriate.  On 
messages with a lot of headers you'll waste a load of CPU and time. 
Instead:

header YOURTOKEN Received =~ /foo/

You can also make it less spoofable using X-Spam-Relays-Trusted: 
metadata header added by SpamAssassin.

Run one of these messages through 'spamassassin -D -t < msg | grep 
X-Spam-Relays' and look what output you get for 'auth=' for an example 
message.  You can then write an un-spoofable rule (provided your 
TrustPath is correct) via:

header FOO X-Spam-Relays-Trusted =~ /auth=foo/i

With this method - you might not even need this particular rule as with 
the trust path correct; the OPs problem of hitting RCVD_IN_PBL, 
RDNS_DYNAMIC etc. goes away as trusted hosts aren't tested.

Regards,
Steve.
