This has come up before a few times (not quite an FAQ though).  The concensus at
the end of the discussion ends up being that deciding whether or not to process
mail through SA is best handled upstream of SA -- why invoke SA at all if you
don't want to invoke it?  The way you handle the should-SA-be-invoked thing will
depend in practice on how you're planning to call SA -- if from procmail, then
you can check for the presence of a magic file in $HOME, and invoke SA only if
it exists (or doesn't exist).  If you're invoking more directly from your MTA,
you might be able to setup a transport map file or something, which will handle
the incoming mail differently based on recipient.
