2 Mo spam? is this a new trend? Can you put a copy somewhere?

It may be possible to block this at the MTA level, if there are obvious
spam patterns. otherwise, passing large messages to SA has  performance
consequences, so you probably don't want to do that unless you receive
hundreds of such spam messages. If you have the resource, you could
raise the limit. This depends on how you call SA.
