Yeah, we have various ideas on ways to do something like this, but:
(a) autolearning
(b) visual scanning ("score is over 40, it's definitely spam")
(c) DNSBL lookups are started before any mail scanning has been
done
(d) speed overhead of checking the "if score > threshold, stop" condition
these are all problems that need to be considered.
