this problem also occurs if you have your mail forwarded from other
sites that run sa.
 
my personal solution is to put the hostname of the sa reporter in the 
report header, so i can recognize where the report is coming from,
and then choose to accept or delete it.

(i add it as a comment within X-Spam-Checker-Version:)

probably it would be a good idea to put it in a more distinctive
header?
