I was trying to figure out why a piece of spam got through with no
spamassassin headers at all. I finally found this message in my log:
spamc[523292]: skipped message, greater than max message size (256000
bytes)
The message was close to 2mb, including a very, very large bmp file. Does
anyone have any thoughts on how to handle this?
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.
Too late, its already in the bit bucket. Surprised me too. As I said, it was
just a few words with a 2mb dot bmp file. Nex time I'll save it in case
someone wants to see this piece of junk.
