I don't immediately see that anyone more knowledgable replied,

Pop3proxy is one possibility. Another possibility is
at the header like this one for example which I don't know WHY it says
possible spam as it scored a ZERO
X-Spam-Score: 0.0 (/)
Is that directly out of SA? Or do you have sometrhing else like qmail or
some such in the path?
If that is straight out of SA, something looks broken as all heck.
Hello,
Man, I can't wait till these kinds of features get implemented. Another
similar idea would be to stop SA scanning if the score gets to a certain
number. On heavily hit mail servers, these kinds of features would help
with CPU usage.

Not quite. My belief (and Joanne set this up, so she has the actual
