Do they just want different score limits, or do they want different rulesets/configurations to be used?

Here's what we do, wich works if they only want different limits:

Just reject if score is over rejection only limit (currently 20).
Quarantine and reject if score is over rejection limit (currently 10).
Put in a header with spam score as stars if over 0.

This way, our users can then filter on the stars in their mailclient.
Personally I have a filter that checks if the header "X-Spam-Score" contains "*****", wich triggers for every mail with a score of 5 or higher,

If you do use "stream_by_recipient", you only need to do it for those mails addressed to multiple recipients with different configs.
