Try all_spam_to.

I want to set up a whitelist_to for my abuse@ address, but the problem is

spam to it, well, the score's still WAY too high.

If you want to bypass scanning entirely, you need to do this in whatever 
tool calls SA. i.e.: you can write procmail rules to go around SA for 
some addresses if you're using procmail.

The best option you have in SA is the all_spam_to directive, as Theo 
suggested, which knocks the score down 100 points.

Aah, yes, but this is called from a system-wide procmail file.
Yeah? so? Set up a procmail rule to bypass the call to spamc when the 
recipient is the user you don't want scanned.

System wide vs per-user calls of procmail does not matter here.. it's a 
matter of knowing how powerful procmail is.

Heck, some people even expand it to use a perl script which checks for the 
recipient in a list in a file as their bypass critera:

I'm very intereseted in this, since i have one user that is constantly 
throwing my server down due to the amount and size of the mail she receives.

Can you give a tip of such a rule to procmail ?
