Not really. Regardless of the number of recipients in a mail,
SA is called from amavisd once per message. There is no way
to pass a list of recipients to it, and no way for SA to return different 
responses corresponding to a list after scanning a message.
This is why amavisd-new supplies to SA always one and the same
username. So, user_prefs can be turned on, but it will always see
the same user vscan, which is not what you are after.

amavisd-new does provide its own mechanism for white and black-listing,
and (even better) a score-sender lookups (soft-whitelisting).
This lookup table can be static or be a SQL table, in which case
you can supply some GUI and let users adjust their w/b/s-list by themselves.
