           Summary: RFE - Splitting test in two parts - Shortcircuit on
                    score so far
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.2.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Plugins
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: giga328@hotmail.com


I posted question to SpamAssassin - Users like:
-----------------------------------------------
I would like to split SpamAssassin test in two parts: 
a) all test except in b) ;) 
b) several expensive test which can not produce negative score 
If after doing tests in a) score is greater than needed I would like to stop 
scanning with spam result. If score is not big enough I would like that 
SpamAssassing start tests from b). 
If this is not possible, I would be happy to do it with third group with just 
one test to shortcircuit scanning. 
I read manual for Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Shortcircuit but I must admit it 
is to hard for one beginner. 
-----------------------------------------------
and I've got an answer that it is not possible to do something similar with 
current Shortcircuit plugin. I think it would be great feature when 
performance is bottleneck so I'm posting this as RFE. If it is possible to do 
something like that with SpamAssassin architecture I think it would be less 
then 20 lines of code. Today after reading about some CPU intensive plugins 
I'm even more interested about such Shortcircuit feature.

Regards,
Giga

Hi Justin, Theo,

I�m preparing SpamAssassin for our system for two weeks now and since it is my 
current project I spent about 100+ hours installing, configuring, testing and 
of course reading documentation and exploring what other guys did with 
SpamAssassin. I don�t think I�m right person to do patch or plugin since I�m 
not so good perl programmer.
In this phase I will be very pleased if somebody with great experience and 
knowledge of SpamAssassin architecture can comment if idea for this RFE is ok.

Regards,
Giga

to exit on score.

well, it'd be cleaner to just add a new ShortcircuitScore plugin, based on
Shortcircuit.pm.  It could probably be done in about 20 lines of very basic perl
code -- all it needs is someone to step up and do it. ;)
