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.
