No, this is not feasible -- consider multi-recipient messages.

You can, however, point sa-exim to a wrapper command around spamc to
tell spamc what user to do the scanning as (since the spamd daemon is
root and can setuid() to the requested user).  Note that sa-exim still
only scans each message once regardless of the number of recipients.

The other method I've documented for integrating sa with exim performs
the processing after the message is accepted and on the queue and
scans the message once per recipient.
