Several of the filter files could certainly benefit from a first match
scenario:  MAILFROM, RDNS, HELO, and IP, as there shouldn't really ever be
more than one match per e-mail message in each of these filter files.
However, I feel that current handling is best for SUBJECT, HEADERS, and BODY
filter files since you could certainly find more than one match per message
in each of these files, and the more matches the higher the point value and
the more likely it is spam, and will be blocked.

So the ability to set a flag for how the particular filter file should be
parsed (first match or full file) would probably be a good thing.

Just my 2 cents...
