Nick, to cure your timeout issues, try using spamc's trick of bypassing actually processing the message for large messages. Basically, as it's reading the message, it checks how much message is there, then if it gets more than 250k it just sends it back out unprocessed. If less than 250k, it forwards to spamd for processing. It doesn't need to know ahead of time how big the message will be, it just reads it in to find out.
