I'm not entirely sure what point you're trying to make here.  What I'm trying 
to do is to bypass blackhole tests in postfix of email from addresses in my 
sympa list, this so that if/when their domain gets onto a blacklist that 
their mail isn't dropped on the floor.

I'm aware of the authorization, I use it for virus detection and such.  What 
I'm looking for is some way of asking sympa to tell me that an address is in 
the database somewhere - if so I can bypass the blackhole tests and pass the 
message along to sympa for it to do it's thing.  I'm not trying to bypass 
sympa or anything, just to use it to bypass some tests outside sympa.
