Synchronously is doubtful. SA works as a series in the mail chain - in my case mail is passed from the MTA to SA, it in turn scores the mail and from there my MTA reads the score and acts accordingly - as do many others. If your mail load is high then you would presumably run multiple SA servers, here if SA1 is busy it (the MTA) passes to SA2 etc. Based on all the above the mail is either dropped into the /suspect folder for manual checking, bounced as greylisted or passed.
