Is this possible please? SA does not support any "bail out of scan" features at present. Even if SA did have the feature (which is planned for a future release), you'd still have a lot of overhead because SA would not know this rule hit until after it had already parsed all the message headers.
The best way to do this (and the only way right now) is to avoid calling SA in the first place. Depending on how you call SA this could be fairly easy (ie: if you use procmail, you can use a procmail rule to only scan some messages) Also - warning DO NOT use whitelist_from on your localdomain. This rule is subject to being easily forged, and many spammers intentionally forge a From: address in your domain to try to take advantage of this. In general use whitelist_from_rcvd for whitelisting where-ever possible.
