How to modify my sendmail.cf so that pop-before-smtp overrides the
blacklist check?!?

I'm using sendmail 8.13.6. I now have pop-before-smtp working.
I am also using enhdnsbl (spam blacklists - spamcop, spamhaus,
dsbl.org).

I would like pop-before-smtp authentications to take precedence over
the blacklists. In other words, if someone authenticates using pop
then they should be able to relay email regardless of the blacklist
lookup.

As it is now, users are authenticating with pop-before-smtp but, in
some cases, they are being blocked by the blacklists.

I'm assuming this is possible because we are also using the access
list.
IP's that appear in this list DO take precedence over the blacklist
checks.

Use the delay_checks feature.

How exactly did you configure sendmail?
