Do you have any stats on how spammy this class of mail is? Is it pure

Actually, it's HAM - not spam.

My point. If those messages are 100% ham, and they have indicators that are easy for the MTA to detect - e.g., from a known correspondent MTA IP address - then put some rules in at the MTA glue layer to say "don't pass these messages to SA at all".
