Just in case there was a misunderstanding here, the two are separate.
1) you want to disable from checks when the connection comes from
   localhost (as you said)
2) you also should skip callbacks if you are getting an Email going to a
   mailman bounce address (we might as well process a bounce coming from
   an unbouncable postmaster)

You may already have understood that, but I was just making sure :-)
