But that's what SA does - learns what's spam and what's ham by Bayesian analysis. I'd have thought any attempt to do this up front would end up duplicating what SA does? You could experiment with a reputation system which applies positive scores whan an IP sends you ham and negative scores when it sends spam or fails an up-front test (DNSBL, HELO checks and so on). And set a threshold for whitelisting around the SA check. But that would prevent SA learning from known ham - which is an important part of the Bayesian process.
