Exit spamassassin when reaching a value
Good day,
I would like to remove rbl check from postfix and using them in
spamassassin, this because for some users rbl are too aggressive while
for others they aren't enough. I would like to know if it is possible
to set rbl check as the first check in spamassassin and, if the remote
IP is blacklisted then stop other test and exit, so keeping server
load as low as possible.
Thanks.

You should probably also look at Postscreen, available in the latest
version of Postfix:
http://www.postfix.org/POSTSCREEN_README.html
which I believe also allows RBLs to be scored if you don't trust to
reject on a single RBL.

Search the mailing list archives and SA documentation for "shortcircuit".

It is fairly easy to set up rbls in SA. Check the docs (man
Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf) and scan the default rule sets for examples.

If you want to do that, then why not run them in postfix and avoid the
SA overhead altogether?
