This has been done and *should* be funtional. I have setup a script that
will verify the sendmail database once an hour versus the lists databases
of users.

The behaviour for those who care is:

1) "Approved" bogus hostnames are rewriten. (ie. tmcd.austin.tx.us to crl.com)
2) Unresolvable hostnames are rejected.
3) Those people subscribed to a list are accepted by sendmail. (skip to #7)
4) Those domainnames that are considered spammers are rejected.
5) Those IP addresses that are considered spammers are rejected.
6) Unqualified remote users are rejected. (ie. no hostname, this is done late
   due to possible rewrite rules that could blank it out)
7) Majordomo does its content check and forwards to the moderator if suspect.

In Service,
