You are correct.
Also, the spam-assassin rule is usually the last... use other rules
ahead of the SA rule to pick off the mailing list and friends/family
mail first, unless they are in the habit of sending you spam ;)

Each rule ahead of the SA rule should have stop-processing just from a
performance standpoint... why keep spinning the cpu wheels when you
already know what the final disposition of the mail should be?

Yes, thanks for specifically bringing this up for people less used to
how Evolution processes.
