The best way is to tell your glue layer not to pass internal-to-internal

What is your MTA (I'm assuming qmail) and how is SA hooked into it?

It's qmail (yes, I know; it REALLY should be replaced...), and SA
is hooked in via the .qmail delivery file.  So it just gets everything.

Ok, I'm not a qmail guru so somebody else will have to suggest how to prevent SA from scanning mail from internal IP addresses destined for local mailboxes.

What confuses me about your suggestion is that it's basically
a filtering rule, so I wonder why I can't use SA to do it...

As Karsten said, SA _can_ do it, but it's more efficient to do it at the MTA level - assuming you can partition your MTA filtering by source IP and delivery destination, and assuming you don't think there will be any locally-originated spam.

  Gun Control is nothing more than an attempt to return to feudalism,
  where the peasants are helpless and must humbly petition their lord
  and master to protect them from bandits and thieves (when they can
  get around to it), and where the lords and masters can abuse the
  peasants whenever they like without fear of effective resistance.
