"prioritize" traffic with MailScanner?

[Mike Kercher]

I have 5 queues on my boxen and MailScanner does the sorting for me via
ruleset.  For mailing lists (which are announce only), I disable virus AND
spam checks via rulesets.  I just excluded the From: address for these
checks.  I have weekly mailings that go out to 15K+ people in about an hour.
