No. The speed gains from doing this would be pretty small anyway. By the time SA recognizes that the message is whitelisted, it's already sent out most network checks (in the normal case it makes sense to do these as early as possible, so that you're doing the rest of the work while you wait for answers). However, you can write a simple procmail rule to avoid calling spamc for these messages. This has a lot of extra benefits (no possible bayes autolearning) and gets you the most performance gain possible (you even save the overhead of calling spamc!). In general don't rely on SA's built-in whitelists. They're there, and are useful, but you're better off whitelisting at a higher layer by not calling SA in the first place. The built-in whitelists are really there for people who can't avoid calling SA. (ie: very simple milters)
