for those that replied, thank you, and yes, i already checked the spamc docs before my first post in re: the -s switch.
----- one of my questions was answered in seeing the diff between 3.1.x and 3.2.x. doh! now, ummmm, in the 3.1.x it says this and is more than understandable. :-) -s max_size Set the maximum message size which will be sent to spamd -- any bigger than this threshold and the message will be returned unprocessed (default: 250 KB). If spamc gets handed a message bigger than this, it won't be passed to spamd. The size is specified in bytes, as a positive integer greater than 0. For example, -s 250000. ------- in the 3.2.x docs it says the max is 256KB yet the default is 500KB (see below) -s max_size, --max-size=max_size Set the maximum message size which will be sent to spamd -- any bigger than this threshold and the message will be returned unprocessed (default: 500 KB). If spamc gets handed a message bigger than this, it won't be passed to spamd. The maximum message size is 256 MB. The size is specified in bytes, as a positive integer greater than 0. For example, -s 500000. :-( can someone tell me if this is just a typo or are we supposed to infer something else from this? - rh
