I am an ISP using SA for my customers. I have set the default SA threshold to 7. I have also setup a bi-weekly report notifying my customers of how many Spam messages they have accumulated. No Spam messages are deleted unless they are older than 30 days. They can then go to our Webmail service and login in to look at their Spam messages and move any false-positives back to their Inbox. They can also customize their own settings: enable/disable SA, adjust SA threshold to 5, 7, or 10, and add whitelist_from, whitelist_to, and blacklist_from entries (this part is all done outside of SA using maildrop which reads a personal config file at delivery).
I launched this to the masses two weeks ago and so far the feedback has been good. So with a little bit of work SA can be used at an ISP successfully.
