Possible. Don't do SpamAsassin if spam lists >= spam lists to reach high
score. Check SpamAssassin If Spam Lists Cause High Score. These
configuration options keep getting longer and longer names :(

Do other people want this one?

Not possible. An entire batch is scanned at once, there is no way of
only scanning some messages some of the time. All you can do is throw
away the results of the scan, which is pretty pointless for what you
want to achieve.

I suspect it does this already. The impact of scanning 1 extra message
in a batch is pretty small, so this may not help you much anyway. And,
as I said, it might already do this.

Archive Clean Non-Spam Mail. Possible but messy.

You can do that already. You can define whatever %variables% you like,
mine are just a few example ones.
I will add %spool-dir% for you as another example in the conf file I ship.

There are still some limits here, I will add them on request.
