Right. With amavisd the limit $sa_mail_body_size_limit is specified in a config file. In absence of assignment to this variable no limit applies. The sample amavisd.conf file, as well as the initial config files provided by some packages, does supply some limit (often 420kB, which is just below the MS 'message/partial' chunk size which isn't handled gracefully by SpamAssassin rules), which can be changed by administrator.
