I have the following rules in my sendmail.mc:

LOCAL_RULESETS
Scheck_eoh
R$*              $: $&{client_resolve}
RTEMP           $#error $@ 4.7.1 $: "550 Access denied--I can't seem to (etc)
RFORGED         $#error $@ 4.7.1 $: "550 Access ddenied--Looks like your (etc)
RFAIL           $#error $@ 4.7.1 $: "550 Access denied--I attempted an (etc)

I do this because it catches a huge amount of incoming spam and also 
helpfully lets other sysadmins know that their DNS for their mailserver is 
screwed up.

But! The above rules seem to override everything else. Doh!

What I'd like to do is have the access_db over-ride the above rules. I've 
tried putting these rules in Local_check_relay and various other locations 
without any success.

How do I make these rules have lesser precedence over the access_db RELAY and 
OK values, but still higher precedence than the rest of the rulesets?

Or can I do this? :)
