SMTP AUTH?
I¹m using sendmail 8.12.11, MIMEDefang 2.44, SpamAssassin 2.64, and Cyrus
SASL 2.1.17 on Linux.
I know there is a way to tell SA not to check e-mails originating from a
certain IP range (or domain). This unfortunately won¹t fit in my set up
very well.
Is there a way to tell SA not to check e-mails from a user that has properly
authenticated with SMTP AUTH?

You can't have SA not scan something once you've asked it to scan
something. ie: the solution is to have whatever calls SA not send the
message in for scanning if it's from an IP range (or whatever) that
you don't want to have scanned. there is no SpamAssassin-side solution
for this.

I think I might have mentioned this before. But go read the mimedefang
archive, this question has been answered by me at least, a few times.

That's not how MIMEDefang works. MD is set to call it's filter for every message. The filter is a perl script. It is of course entirely possible to write a perl script that calls SA on some messages but not on others.
Exactly how to write this code for MD's filter is a question that really has nothing to do with SA though, so it should be asked in the MD-list instead. Should be possible to find that list through: <http://www.mimedefang.org>

Well, quite simply, MIMEDefang is set up to scan everything that is
processed by your mail server. If MIMEDefang is making use of SA, then
every mail message passed through it is scanned.
The only way that I can think of would be to run SA through the
spamd/spamc/procmail process...procmail only processes mail that is being
delivered to local users. As such, only incoming mail would be scanned,
on delivery. Outbound mail from your actual users would not.

I suspected that this might be a question for the MIMEDefang group, but your
response implied that there would be a way to do it if I was NOT using
MIMEDefang. How else would one do it?

If you're using SA through MIMEDefang, then probably not.
