Unfortunately its not possible to use userwise prefs in Mysql for SA (I 
realised this recently) if you are using MailScanner.  SA needs to 
switch user its is running as to load the prefs of the user from SQL, 
but incase of MailScanner SA is always invoked as the user which is 
running the MailScanner processes, also since MailScanner processes 
mails in batches and compiles (i.e. loads rulesets and other params) SA 
modules once per batch its not possible to switch user and invoke SA 
from within MailScanner. One time compilation of SA (per batch) in 
MailScanner makes anti-spam checks more efficient. Things would become 
worse if MailScanner had to compile SA per message.
