Greylisting is only in beta, snapshot, right now.  I do not believe that it
will have the ability to include SA or other application.  It should,
theoritically, reject_unverified_sender for the first N seconds after it
verifies as OK.  It should only look at the sending IP address, envelope
sender, and envelope recipient.  I believe this will be a wonderful added
feature.  However, it is still limited.  If I am wrong about this, please
let me know.

The term MTA is really broad.  If you really mean in the smtpd (where RBL is
involved) or cleanup (where header/body checks are performed) applications,
I don't think that it possible to inject SA at either point.  That is why
the content_filter was created.  To work with an external application,
Postfix needs to use a transport to make it work.  In my case, I have
Postfix pipe messages to Procmail, which becomes the mail processor for the
MTA.  I use it at the gateway so this is a site/relay configuration.
Procmail becomes much more useful as I can also perform attachment checks,
white/black list checks, and real header/body checks.  I also create
notifications and user/global tagging so users can independently filter into
_spam_ subfolders in their MDA.  I also created a Webmin module to manage
all of that as well as the quarantine and log reports.

Although your best performance is to use the Postfix RBL and header/body
checks, they do tend to be the least effective.  I found it better to let
Postfix be an MTA and let Procmail be a mail processor as the purposes are
their core design and strengths.  Postfix smtpd_??_restrictions and
greylisting will be best suited for the MTA.  I still believe a good
post-processor will be needed.
