In cases were there is only a single recipient, I run SpamAssassin at

Unfortunately, "Mail Avenger" does not have a mechanism to make decisions
like that. I simply tell it which script to run against the body/data.
If that script has user-specific code, the SMTP engine forces all
recipients after the first to tempfail before it ever sees the body.
Not the best design, but at least for me it is a simple script-controlled
way of putting SA on the SMTP transaction. :)
This also prevents determination of almost-full mailbox conditions, so
that I sometimes have to generate bounces... :(
I've written to the Mail Avenger author, hoping he'll add a 'feature' to
distinguish when there is only one recipient and allow scripts to do more
under that condition.... no response yet.... :)
