I believe that Julian is talking about a message that has more than one
local recipient. In that case the message will be delivered unless both
recipients are set for deletion of Spam.

A better solution is to use client-side filters, or procmail or Cyrus
Sieve (if you are running a Cyrus or Cyrus derived mail system) to
delete Spam on a per-user basis. That happens at the user level, in
between Sendmail/MailScanner and local delivery, so it doesn't matter if
there are multiple recipients for a message.
