Shouldn't it be possible to simply check for the presence of spamassassin 
markup before calling it a second time ??

So for example if they wanted to call it as a sendmail milter and also 
optionally from procmail during local delivery, it is trivial for the 
procmail script to check for existing spamassassin markup before deciding 
whether to call SA or not.

Not that I'm suggesting this is a good setup, but it certainly easy to 
avoid calling it twice on the same message...
