I have been working on installing SpamAssassin site-wide, but wanted to constrain it to a test group before launching it. I'm also using exim as my MTA. I created a system filter in exim that said basically if $recipients contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or $recipients contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or... then add a new header called 'X-Spam-Check: YES". Then, in my exim configuration, if there exists a header named 'X-Spam-Check:' then run SpamAssassin. Granted this works well for 10-15 people, but it could be a pain if you have 150 people who want it. The other thing I might suggest is make the options such that the subject is not re-written, and the SPAM lines are kept in the header, and HTML content emails are not destroyed, then go ahead and turn it on for everyone. You won't break anything, then whoever wants the benefit of SpamAssassin can put in rules for the X-Spam-Flag.
