That is absolutely correct. By design Q-S treats AV failures as serious and
causes the e-mail to requeue until someone fixes the problem. OTOH, SA
failing in any way just means the message cannot be tagged with  a SPAM
status. 

You can rely on your users to tell you when SA is down ;-)

Seriously, tools such as supervise from daemontools can help auto-restart
services when they die. That'd keep SA running.
