My SpamAssassin configuration does not skip messages with attachments in
general. It's only set by spamc to the default 250K (ie, I don't use -S
<something>... my $spamc_options variable is set to " -c -f"). When I run
SA on a per-user basis, it checks e-mail with short attachments for spam,
just like it should. However, the behaviour I'm getting with q-s is like
this:
if ($message->attachment) {
&run_virus_filter;
} else {
&run_spam_filter;
}
since the attachments that aren't getting scanned are way smaller than 250K.
If this is not the default behaviour, then perhaps there's some options I
should be setting differently? Or compile-time options that I didn't set?
I don't seem to have any system-specific variables to set for this
however.
