If you can use a procmail filter to detect the messages and filter them
then you could bypass MailScanner altogether by using the opposite of the
HOLD trick I did describe on
http://hugo.vanderkooij.org/email/mailscanner.htm?lang=en#HOLD and use OK
instead of HOLD on such a header rule in postfix.

But it will bypass MailScanner completely and that might be undesirable.

Obviously if there is an all or nothing option in regard to SpamAsassin
filtering I would opt for nothing and do content scanning myself.
