It's not safe to whitelist/blacklist based on just email addresses since they could be spoofed or forwarded. The safe way to whitelist/blacklist is to use other facts like SPF, DKIM, RCVD (Received header) which goes back to my point about the reputation of the sending mail server. Once you have reliable whitelist/blacklist entries, then you can enable the SHORTCIRCUIT'ing of those rules to speed up SA's scanning based on the "priority". Look at your rules for "priority" and "shortcircuit" to learn how they work together. What I am suggesting is just further tuning/extending of those rules to cover more safe senders.
