I think that since you are using a smarthost then you have a
manualroute. Now, if you take the standard dnslookup router:
dnslookup:
driver = dnslookup
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8 : 169.254.0.0/16 : 192.168.0.0/16
no_more
this will never be used for incoming emails *unless* you relay for someone.
So, if you check for null sender here, and have this *before* the
manual route, then you'll have achieved your aim. Or, you check that
the sender is not null in the manual route and have this dnslookup
after it.
I have no idea if you can check the sender in either...
Now, I have just started a couple of days ago to consider routers
more in detail, so my considerations might be completely wrong...
