Dear David,
Thanks for your information.

I agree.
And then it has to be passed to SA again. Because SA is doing the spam score
calculation and not MD.
Now I know why I didn't find so many information in the internet.
That's bad. Because I had the idea, a systems administrator who configured his
outgoing mail server with real certificates did also invest time in
configuration not to have an open relay gateway.
OK, I give up this idea.
Kind regards
Hans

No. The milter makes various callbacks during the SMTP session. It's
documented here: https://www.milter.org/developers/overview
The final callback after DATA passes the milter the entire message headers and
body, but *only* exactly what was received over the wire.
It will *not* include any headers added by Sendmail or the milter, or any other
changes to the message.
If you want to check for TLS verification, you need to do it outside
SpamAssassin and pass the Sendmail macro ${verify} down into MIMEDefang.
All in all, a bit of a mess.
Regards,
David.
