The CVS source already does that, with the -e flag.  Of course, with
savannah down, you can't get it :(  As soon as it comes back up I'll
roll another release.  Their current message says it'll be up today,
but I wouldn't be surprised if it took a couple more days.

Until then, using this in place of the regular local_user function in
spamass-milter.cpp should do what you want:

string
SpamAssassin::local_user()
{
  // assuming we have a recipient in the form: <address@hidden>
  // we return 'address@hidden'
  if (_rcpt[0]=='<')
    return _rcpt.substr(1,_rcpt.find('>')-1);
  else
    return _rcpt;
}
