Selective Bypass of Access File?

My sendmail is all working fine. I'm using virtual hosting.

The question I have is how do I bypass the access file checking for certain local users?

For example, I want to put tw in the access file to block all mail from Taiwan. But, I have one local user who does marketing in Taiwan and needs to receive emails from .tw domains without knowing the incoming email addresses or domains in advance.

Is there a way to have sendmail "bypass" the access file functionality for certain local users/domains? I've tested everything I can think of to test within the file itself, but either everything gets accepted or everything gets rejected.

I know you can put "localdomain.com OK" in there, but anything with a .tw on the sender still gets kicked back because it's in the sender info and not the receiving info which has been OK'ed.

Thank you in advance.
