Makes sense, per-user Bayes is much more efficient than per-user
SpamAssassin preferences/config.

There is a 80+ line description of @sa_username_maps and @sa_userconf_maps
with examples in the 2.7.0 release notes.

Search for sections starting with:
  - per-recipient (or per- policy bank, or global) SpamAssassin configuration
and
  - per-recipient (or per- policy bank) SpamAssassin SQL database usernames

> Or is that solely done through SA's configuration?

Before a call to SpamAssassin, amavisd tells SpamAssassin which username
to use. The rest (SQL lookup etc.) is done by SpamAssassin.

No changes should be necessary, apart from configuring @sa_username_maps
in amavisd.conf.

When per-recipient bayes is needed, amavisd calls SpamAssassin possibly
multiple times for multiple recipients of a message, once for each unique
username. Before the call the username is passed to SpamAssassin,
the rest is SpamAssassin's task.
