Depends what your MTA (mail transport agent, eg sendmail) is up to.  For
most people SA is only processing (and thus filtering) mail which is
destined to be delivered locally.  To get mail in the queue being
processed by Sednmail you need you need to setup a "milter".  For other
MTAs it is easier I believe.
