I don't think it's particularly feasible to configure sendmail to only
run some messages through the milter: at least, not by an ordinary
mortal.
However, you can modify the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file to
allow e-mail to certain destinations to always pass through the
filters: see the entries for
whitelist_to add@ress.com
more_spam_to add@ress.com
all_spam_to add@ress.com
in Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf(3)
The other alternative is to forgo spamass-milter and instead use
procmail(1) to feed all your messages into spamd(1) on delivery. Setup
is easy for individual users if they use ~/.procmailrc, but you'll
have to craft some sendmail rules to pass everything through procmail
if you're admining a large enough site that you can't deal with
individuals. These pages have some more detail:
