Be careful; this can be faked.  If the mail path is constant or reasonably
simple, it's better to decide whether or not to run SA based on the
sending relay's IP address.

Possibly; you could scan for a part called "SpamAssassinReport.txt"
and skip SA if you find one.  Inside filter, you could check the $fname
argument.
