If you are using a milter that calls SA, you are in effect using a

An "out-of-the-box" installation of SA does not include a milter of any
kind.
FreeBSD ports installation uses sendmail (included in base OS) and
milter for amavisd. It's the only method that works out of the box.
I can't confirm, but others indicate that RPMs on various linux
platforms do the exact same thing.
That's "out of the box" as far as open source OSes go :-)
A correctly written milter calling SA is supposed to *create* a
Received: header and prepend it to the message it send to SA
(MIMEDefang, the milter we're using, does that for example).
Perhaps, but that is undocumented. Obviously as I've said
10,000,000,000,000 times now amavisd-milter has been patched to do this,
but documentation of that requirement should be done.
*AND* SA should be overhauled to not require alteration of the message.
