Hrm. This looks like a sendmail bug, then.
The code in question is just this:
macro_auth_type = smfi_getsymval(ctx, "{auth_type}");
if (!macro_auth_type)
{
macro_auth_type = "";
warnmacro("auth_type", "ENVRCPT");
}
and macro_auth_type should only be NULL if auth_type is not defined.
[But maybe sendmail doesn't always define that macro if there's not an
authenticated user? Not sure; postfix certainly does.]
I'm going to reassign this to sendmail, and make it affects
spamass-milter; hopefully someone there will know better.
I personally don't run spamass-milter with sendmail any more myself.
