Other possibility is to not do any antispam checks on RCPT TO:
command. I think the current antispam spam option is only meant for
response to the MAIL FROM: and DATA commands.

That won't work, because some MTAs will always and some will depending
on configuration defer ANY 4XX or 5XX reply until after RCPT TO.

That's right.  I was aware of this when I wrote the code.
 
The sane approach is to empty the default antispam list. Before 6.0.0 is
a good time, because people expect major changes on a 5.X -> 6.0 upgrade.

I will probably make this change.  I'm still meditating on this.
