Annoying answer: MD can do anything you tell it to do.

Less annoying answer:

By default, my belief is that all the SA checks are run as the user MD 
runs under. I believe what you might want to look into are integrating 
these two commands with your filter:

                     $SASpamTester->load_scoreonly_sql($user);
                     $SASpamTester->signal_user_changed({ username => 
$user });

I also use spamc based on code from Matthew van Eerde.  A pdf of that 
basis is attached (my email was rejected with the PDF for size so it's 
now at 
http://www.pccc.com/downloads/MIMEDefang/contrib/spamc/SpamassassinSpamcSpamd%20-%20Kwiki.pdf). 
I think I've published my code but in short, I run spamc with  -u 
$username and have routines that identify the username.

For a localuser, you can use something like shelling out and running 
sendmail -bv kmcgrail at pccc.com
kmcgrail at pccc.com... deliverable: mailer local, user kmcgrail

Hope this helps.
