I might agree that spamassassin should do nothing on a message that it isn't intended to, > and we should not need the procmail recipe to > checks for the mail size. ...but I can't agree with this. It is very clearly documented in the quoted procmail example, and people should read and understand that example before using a nuclear device like spamassassin. spam scanning in this day is a non-trivial exercise (you might do OCR on attachments for example), and administrators need to understand that. I think this bug should be downgraded, it is surely not an RC bug. Cheers, Kjetil -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
