If you -only- need Per-User required_score you may be able to achieve
that via a two stage process.
Run SA at your MTA level but have it -only- add a specific header with the
score value. Then in your delivery process have some kind of customized
delivery agent that would look up the Per-User required_score, combine
that with the SA header score and take the specific user desired
action. (change subject header, route to 'Junk' folder, etc).

This would have the disadvantage of defeating the one main reason for
running SA at the MTA level (the ability to SMTP-REJECT spam).
