1MB is probably too large. There is not much spam with such size
(although few ones were reported here).
What has the studies of the average and realistic maximum of spam email
sizes concluded?
Was the conclusion the SA default size?
I am not aware of any study.
but I just checked a junk folder of 5701 spams and found that:
- 4: have a size >= 1 Mo (2 are about 1M and 2 about 1.7M)
- 7: 256 >< 500
- 13: 100 >< 256 K
(Incidentally, no spam in the 450K - 1M range. I'll have to look at
other spams).
In short:
- 0.42% are >= 100K
- 0.19% are >= 256K
- 0.07% >= 1M
so ther's not much benefit spending SA processing on large messages.
