email being sent to user1 and user2, whose preferences do you use?

to be modre precise: spamass-milter allows specifying of user name whose prefs will be used in such case.
Generally, if you are doing scanning during SMTP, you use a site-wide
setup.  If you want per-user preferences, you scan on delivery.  Of
course, if you have the horsepower, you can do both.  Use a conservative
site-wide setup to scan and reject obvious spam at SMTP and then use the
per-user setup to scan and flag or quarantine the rest.

that's the most effective way

... this is most effective, but a bit harder to implement. Ideal solution would be combination with the above, so when per-user prefs are used at SMTP time, the mail is not scanned again. However that requires tracing if an e-mail was scanned with proper prefs (e.g. adding a header at smtp time, and removing it in the begin so noone cvan fake it from remote)
