First, you probably want to set the priority of the rule so it runs before others, to get maximum benefit out of shortcircuiting. Second, you turn on Shortcirucuit for the rule. Which would be these two lines: priority SA1 -100 shortcircuit SA1 on. Which is exactly what docs for the ShortCircuit plugin suggest: http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.2.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Plugin_Shortcircuit.html
