Sort of. Starting with amavisd 2.7.0 you can load SpamAssassin's
'user preferences' config file on top of a site-wide configuration.
The filename is provided by @sa_userconf_maps, so it can choose
a filename based on a recipient's e-mail address, but is also a
member of policy banks.

So you can have for example (using a 'constant' pseudo-lookup table):

$policy_bank{'PROXY-ORIGINATING'} = {
  originating => 1,
  sa_userconf_maps =>
    [ '/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/user_config_originating' ],
};

and perhaps also a:

$policy_bank{'REGULAR-MX'} = {
  sa_userconf_maps =>
    [ '/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/user_config_inbound' ],
};

Switching between configurations is rather expensive as SpamAssassin
needs to save and then restore current settings.

The @sa_userconf_maps (and related @sa_username_maps) are
documented in 2.7.0 release notes.
