Correct.

Depending on what you want to accomplish you could do some or all of the 
following:

1. Save permanently rejected messages and run a script[1] that resends 
the message to those that don't want anything thrown away (spammers 
still think that the message were rejected)

2. Use individual exim filters that checks for SA headers and throws 
high scored messages away [2]

3. Use individual exim filters that runs SA once more for those who 
wants to maintain local SA rules.

[1] An example of such a script can be found here: 
<http://richard.lithvall.se/projects/sa-exim/forward-spam.pl>
(It takes a saved message file as argument and resends it to all recipients)

[2] For example like this:
# Exim filter
if $header_X-Spam-Level: begins "**********" and 
$header_X-SA-Do-Not-Rej: begins "Yes" then
         seen finish
endif
