It would be nice if spamc could read from a file as well as a pipe. In that
case spamc could stat the file and figure out it's size in advance.

In fact, it would also be nice if spamd could do that same thing. 99% of us
are running spamd on the same host as the MTA - so why the overhead of
calling the network to pass the contents of a file that is already on the
local disk?

The Qmail-Scanner SA support would really benefit from this. I'd get spamd
to run as the same usercode that runs qmail-scanner, and it could just
directly access the file on disk.

..Still need the network support though - I for one actually use it to allow
a REALLY old Redhat 5.0 mail server  to run SA via a spamd on a newer server
:-)
