This made me take a look at the last logs of one of my mail servers, just for curiosity. For 1 month, 4049 mails correctly tagged as spam with 1 false positive (and this was a mail sent from a mobile phone). For those 4049, just 8 were bigger than 100Kb, and only one was bigger than 1 200kb (216kb). So the default value works perfectly! - Ruben
