The workaround I use is to defer false-bounce checks until after the
DATA command (but before the data itself), using sendmail's
check_data.  At that point, $u isn't set, so you have to set your own
macro earlier.  I set mine in Local_check_rcpt.  Bounces and CBVs
involve only one recipient, making this easy.

Then that means you're breaking my CBV tests--making it look like all
possible MAIL FROM values from your domain are valid.

You have the right to do that of course, but I don't see what it really
gains you.

(Granted, in this case I had made a mistake because I didn't realize my
CBV tool was connecing outwards from a different IP address than what I
thought I had configured, but I'd rather see a problem appear when I
make a mistake versus having a test always return a positive answer.)
