True, but as Theo suggested, several tools that call SA can be configured to skip users like that.. Not only do you avoid tagging/learning/whatever but you save CPU time by not even trying to scan.
For the volume of mail affected by this on our network, CPU time is not worth mentioning. YMMV.
With procmail you just modify your procmail rules such that the user gets delivered without the rule that calls spamc/spamasassin.
Yep. I gave the same advice in my reply. ;-)
MailScanner can do this quite easily with it's rule lists. There are others, but I'm not familiar with them, be sure to check if your tool can do this.
If your tools can support it, this is by far a better way than any kind of modification to SA's configuration.
Not for me, it isn't. Generally, I still like to see which rules hit, and still have the option to control whether mail is autolearned or not. (i.e., for some spamtraps, spam mailing lists (like this one), etc.)
It really depends on what the OP wants to accomplish, but I think "by far a better way" is debatable in the general case. :-)
