           Summary: abandon rule processing when score gets high enough
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamassassin
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Spamassassin has become a fairly heavy source of cpu load on the system I use,
because of some of the slow (but important) tests it runs.  However, a lot of my
spam is caught by trivial tests like blacklists.  In fact, address blacklists
catch over 90%.  I propose that these tests be done first and that they be
considered preemptive, i.e. if a message scores high enough on
blacklist/whitelist lookups and maybe some other tests, that further processing
be abandoned and the message declared spam.  That will save a lot of cpu cycles.
 The inserted headers can indicate that some tests have been skipped.
